I seem to recall hearing that losses were in the range of about $30m/year, but even if you double that (so that one half of the league's losses are from the Coyotes) it still has nothing to do with the fact that while player costs have risen at more or less the same rate as revenues, non-player costs would have to have nearly doubled to make the league's claims true.
If we're honest there's likely about 10 teams that make an acceptable return from what I've read. Although I doubt if we'll see contraction its the only real solution I suppose
Relocation would do the same, and would be an even better option if it were to a city in which the conditions for even a modestly profitable franchise were present.
That an a relatively robust revenue sharing structure and a reasonable ding to player salaries would probably be enough for the vast majority of teams.. 27 or 28 out of 30.. to be on stable ground.

800 bucks holy crap, is that the going rate for beer league these day? Where do you skate pacific coloseum?
Planet Ice.
$12,240 per team.
Pretty standard these days for roughly a 40 game season playoffs included.
Icetime in the lower mainland is a rarer commodity than drinking water in Mexico City.
That's not too bad. Shit growing up there were only two public rinks on the west side of Vancouver, Kerrisdale and Kits. I think that's it right now too unless you count UBC. Ice economics are terrible and no one could make money on ice in Vancouver with the cost of real estate.
Now in Winnipeg there's more ice than you can handle and that doesn't include outdoor when it arrives.
What's the going rate for an hour of ice Aaron?

This Coyote thing is FAR from over. For one thing, Jamison is not a viable "owner". He doesn't have the capital. He's basically a broker looking to get others to invest in that mess. Look how long its been since he's been trying to "raise the cash". Even if he gets the deal done, they say it takes roughly $40 million to have a team function due to massive overhead costs. Where's that dough going to come from? Buying the team is just the start of the money drain.
Jamison is merely a pimp trying to live off a deal he brokered with borrowed ca$h. The dumb [bugger] mod edit.. does not have a chance.Banko in 24 months.
If the shut out goes to a full season I guess the draft will another lottery draw ? Who know maybe McKinnon heading this way got to find a positive outta this thing
