Another spitball idea is for the NHL to pony up and buy professional womens teams and recreate them into a duplicate WOmens league of the NHL: when the canucks are on the road playing Calgary, literally the Lady Canucks are at home hosting Calgary's Women. Do this for 32 NHL teams and you double the local games available for fans, giving women a bigger stage, and revenue will flow from that. The relative strength of the mens league would then bouy the womens a little, while also lending credence to it. Identical paralell leagues mandated under the NHL and literally each NHL club must have a womens team, makes it easy to implement and get something off the ground, again using %'s for salary instead of hard cash amounts. 

The women players would be making negative integer salaries if it's gonna be based on their team's earnings. Nobody wants to spend enough money on such a poor sports entertainment option.

 

And if it was subsidized by the men, it would eventually be plagued by constant hen nammering and virtue signaling about making the salaries equal. .

7?

 

Yes there were 7 brothers, but Brent can't be his father and his uncle.  Or could he, that would just be weird.

Not too weird in Alberta.

Toronto has arguably the biggest fanbase of the Canadian teams: and that fanbase can be replicated in many of the southern 'iffy' markets on the turn of a dime. Vancouver has 675 thousand people and lots of them watch hockey, and BC has 5 million and lots of us watch hockey. Phoenix has 4.5 million people and Arizona has 7.5. Not many watch hockey though, but it doesn't take too many % points when the city has 4.5 million instead of 675 thousand to turn around the revenue in a hurry. 

 

I think it is good to grow the sport into new markets in North America, but what may be even better would be the tier system that the Premiership has in soccer in ENgland for example. There are like the NHl/AHL/ECHL system like a hundred clubs and what the NHL could do is have 32 in teh NHL, another 32 in the AHL and another 32 in the ECHL and just like the premiership or WJH system: the last place team this year bumps ddown to the 2nd tier and their winner bumps up. 

 

Instant "anti tanking" right there. 

 

But its too wild a change and the owners would never vote to have a chance to drop to the AHL in a bad year. Too bad, as that format has made even Bolton worth billions.

 

EDIT: as an aside, contracts could be done as strait % of revenue, you pay your Matthewses 12% or what not and your boydses 1% or what not and then it doesn't matter where you end up in the teir system, your income determines your salary expenditures: but your stars will demand a trade when you tank and drop a tier, that is for sure, just like in the Premiership.

Comment got eaten grr.

 

For a women’s nhl in principle great idea but alternating the fixtures would cause scheduling issues especially with venues with nba teams, concerts and other such events, it’s more feasible to run the team on the same plane and have them play prior to the men’s game. This way you could let fans in early to increase exposure to women’s game, have extra game day income from food and services, but keep the team running costs down by not having to duplicate all support functions like equipment managers, travel, venue costs etc.

 

it poses its own problems with ice quality and turn around between events but it’s an easier issue to solve anD keeps expenditure down 

 

for implementation of a pyramid system it would be problematic especially as the nhl are built on franchises and not sports clubs tied to the local area. In reality it would entrench the haves at the top and push the have nots down. To get a pyramid system in the nhl would require a fundamental overhaul in structure which would be far to drastic to implement. Plus you would need to axe the draft system

 When i was growing up all the Sutters looked the same to me....  it's quite possible  they all looked the same to Brandon as well and he just called them all uncle..
