Kind of turns me off of professional sports a bit if I’m being honest.
The way I view it is that the money is already there. The NHL is making billions.

If the players aren't making the big bucks, it's the already fat owners who get fatter. But make no mistake, the money is there.

I'd rather see the players get it since they ARE the product. I got no problem with players scratching and clawing for max dollars instead of the owners just getting more of it.

Having said that, there is a salary cap. So these holdouts are pointless and just hurt club and player.
