Hairy Kneel Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Kragar said: For sure. I wouldn't want to be the one to try to balance it all out, but ideally there should be more money earned by broadcasters, which should increase league revenue. But, considering how these contracts are worded (and I have no idea what the contracts are or when they expire), I struggle to see a lot of sharing of the new revenue by the broadcasters. If player escrow isn't enough to cover the losses, I guess that might lead to a lockout at some point. FWIW, I haven't been paying attention to a lot of discussion on this lately, so apologies if I am repeating the words of others, especially if any real reports have countered any of my guesses. No I'm not as clear on these conditions either. But am interested in their effect on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The escrow concept can handle it well, assuming it can address something so drastic as this. Of course, it would also make the contract values less meaningful... kinda like our printed money when the government prints more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the reason for the lockout. Players have to bite the bullet on this. The owners and top end players won't suffer, but the lower end guys might though. If you're confused about something ask for clarification. I was responding to the idea that contract values would have less meaning. Escrow already made contract values subject to revenue. It's just that no-one foresaw such a drastic scenario. Edited July 12, 2020 by RWMc1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know if enough can be held back in escrow to account for what could be lost by empty buildings. Fingers crossed everyone is happy enough that (assuming it is safe enough) we continue to have hockey after all the beans are counted and divvied up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
