I was hoping to get over to the States/Canada early next year and catch a few NBA/NHL games. Guessing this won't be on now....
Players flocking to the KHL and the Swiss A League.
Ovechkin threatening never to return to the NHL (which I can't see possible as I reckon he signed some massive deal tying him to the Caps until 2020-21).
Teams are cutting staff all over. The pre-season being scrapped alone has cost clubs 6 games and clubs like the Leafs rake in between $1.6-$2.1 million per home game! How can they afford to pay the players these huge amounts when they are not making any money....

Teams in non hockey playing area's are struggling to make ends meet due to contract demands for RFA's as they need to match the teams with money offers. This is the third lockout under commissioner Gary Bettman. The fans are up in arms and it is not helping the league at all. With now all pre season games canned this will get worse before better. The NHLPA lawyer has said this could go for 2 years. Both sides are killing this league through their own Greed.

Consider the NHL’s engagement of Luntz Global to be money well spent.
A day after details leaked of the league’s work with focus groups to shape its message during the month-old NHL lockout, Gary Bettman made his best public relations move of the summer and fall by bringing a new CBA proposal to Toronto on Tuesday to present to the NHLPA.
