Reading the comments is *fascinating* to me. Lots of folks seem to think such decisions don't actually have an effect in these kind of things. When, of course, we *know* they do (thanks to wealthy folks' bottom lines getting affected) and often are the *only* things that have enough of an effect to enact actual change.
But in this case, I am not sure whether this has any affect at all on NHL owners pockets, does it? As I understand it, the reason for playing out the season in the first place was to fulfill TV contracts that were already paid out for the year, and to avoid having to hand back enormous refunds. But the tournament itself isn't generating any new revenue for NHL owners at present, is it?
