I like that the women are taking a stand, but think they are being impatient.
Is attendance improving year to year? Has there been growth in the game?
What are ticket prices like?
Is there a viable plan to attract viewers and grow the game?
With worries of market over-saturation, are they untapped markets they could exploit
There's just no way to sustain paying their players more or apparently, what they're getting paid now. High-level sponsorship is only going to come if the viewer numbers are there.
I don't think the NHL should be creating a women's league just for the sake of it. It has to work and that's up to the women to demonstrate that it can.
