The NHL's current system leaves a lot to be desired, and it came with a lot of missed games. It's not a good system if it leads to lockouts with every re-negotiation either. And it is definitely not a fan friendly system by any means.
I disagree. Larger markets still have a substantial advantage in MLB. As a fan, I honestly don't care if every team is making money or losing money. I just want a competitive playing field....Baseball is not....there are still the haves and the have nots.
