They're killing the sport....look how long it took baseball to recover from the strike in '94. The fan base will continue to decrease and if/when they get back up and running, a lot of the small market teams will continue to struggle and eventually die off. I totally side with the owners on this one. Players are making millions and still crying. The average player makes 1.9 million a season. The market may set their salaries, but if there's no more hockey they wont have any salaries to speak of! A salary cap would be good for the league. It would allow even the smaller market teams to be competitive. Look at the NFL, in my opinion, that's the best run league in all of pro sports.
