I'm telling you guys, an NHL fan group should buy the team and run it on-line.
Similar to these guys.

Basically have a CP-style forum, where the board proposes moves, and we use polls to vote on those proposals.
"Trade Phaneuf for spare parts from 2nd worst team in league, Y/N?"
You'd have to make everybody who buys in promise not to tell other teams what they're doing though. Maybe some kind of on-line pinkie swearing system.
It's just as feasible as any of the plans the billionaires have come up with.
