That in seat gambling application that we all know is coming at some point have it at an Inferno game and see if it works before 18k people show up to try it. Hockey players aren't asking for 77k salaries I am sure you can pay them less give them access to benefits that are already included as part of an NHL club like top of the line training and athletic support.
The NHL is North American Sports' Redheaded stepchild. They have zero leverage to force anything.
