i think we could probably spend internally 12-14 million internally on RFA's but that's 4 more million that can either go by taking on a bad LTIR contract or something else done.
something will have to happen.

Total Dung organization as usual.  Oh, the logo is just the old 2D logo, which is fine.

yeah, I saw that. apparently, the real reveal is on the first day of the draft.

I know this is an unpopular opinion but i was never a fan of that logo. I actually preferred the 3D one.

To be honest i was hoping that we could have gotten to those cream-colored jerseys with the O's we had used. those were amazing looking.

I know that a portion of the fan base will be happy about this.

maybe the team can rebrand with something new yet classically looking when the day new ownership comes in.

hopefully, this grows on me. let's see the jerseys I guess...

HRR was a little over $5B and tv revenues accounted for around $800M. The rest is primarily tickets, concessions and parking, merchandise, advertising, licensing. There will be some additional revenue from increased streaming subs and a little more advertising revenue as people flick to the YouTube game summaries, but there won't be any new tv deals this season and no Olympics boost this season. Licensing from online betting could be substantial but unlikely to bridge the gap sufficiently. There will be owners - and not just Melnyk - who will not be able to meet payroll after a couple months of no in person hockey. If there is still no viable vaccine, what then?

i really don't know.
some players could opt to go play overseas.
In theory, there could be an agreement taken where profits/salaries are slashed by a % of what revenues are expected to be minus attendance if they want to play without crowds.
i doubt this is how they do it but if it's that or an entire season, i'm not sure what they would go for. maybe they do cancel the season if there are absolutely no vaccine in sight by December.
But IMO, there is a vaccine in sight.

Brown, Norris, Formenton, Batherson, Chlapik, Wolanin, Brann will be given real shots this year. Going to be a rough season. At least it might be exciting hockey

It’s going to be a very unpredictable season across the board due to Covid

Dorion all but confirmed byfield or stutzle will be picked at 3, so I bet either one will be on the roster to start if they are allowed to be
