Pre season baseball starting... Instead of the final few weeks of hockey, when the games matter. Another strike against hockey.

I can't see it happening, though. $116 million average payout - you think Illitch would take even 3 times that for the Wings? Same with the Rangers, Leafs, Avs, Stars, Flyers, etc...

Yeah... 3,500,000,000 is a big number but when divided over 30 *teams*... gets watered down pretty quickly.

I'll bet it would. You'd have one owner who obviously isn't intending to buy a league to have it locked out.
