Then we'll have the NHL pay wages based on the financial capacity of New York, Chicago, L.A., Montreal, and Toronto.
The Flames will wind up operations overnight, but hey, at least the Hitmen will still be playing in a 6-team WHL.

Thr London knights would have to revenue share. If on average the league can afford it then it's poor distribution of revenue and the teams need to decide if the size of league they need to be popular is worth propping up other teams.
Season is 24 weeks with 20 players so 500 person weeks of work @ say 40 hrs per week is 20,000 man hours with a $12 wage would be 250,000 per team.
If the Prince George Cougars are worth 5 million they should be making 500k per year in profit or more given the risk and variability in the product.
Therefore they can either afford minimum wage at the bottom end of the teams or they are grossly overvalued.
Also if there education scholarships didn't expire theyd be worth about 5-10k per year or almost as much as minimum wage.
