DaneykoIsGod Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Adding a high revenue team would increase the cap ceiling and floor more than revenue sharing would distribute. Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit56 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 relax dude You don’t see the irony in talking about the difficulty for people to switch to second team in large market with an original 6 team and generations of loyalty behind it? I didn't think it needed further explanation either, fwiw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Without the Islanders getting a new building in the next few years, they're out of the NY market (I just don't see them moving to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the capacity for hockey is a little over 15,000). If that happens, then I think the NHL would do everything in their power to keep the Devils here in order to continue to rake in the big TV contract and sponsorship money from having a 2nd team in the NY market. Based upon the current status of the Devils lease at the Rock, and the TV contract with MSG, as others have already said, it would be prohibitively expensive to move the team in the foreseeable future for any new owner. The team would have to go into bankruptcy, and have it purchased and moved out of that procedure before it could conceivably happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
