Was told that six teams would receive huge chunk of rev share under NHLPA system: Phoenix, NY Isles, Columbus, Florida, Nashville, Carolina
One of those hockey markets is not like the other. What gives?
Which? They are 6 of the 8 lowest revenue teams according to Forbes. (Though I think those numbers include revenue sharing.)
I assumed that, I was just wondering why the Islanders need as much help as those other teams since they're in New York.
A lot of NHL teams would like to have the Isles TV contract. Unfortunately they have some of the worst gate revenue in the league. We're talking Phoenix Coyotes territory. It's not just the fans that stay away. Zero NHL players want to play at the Nassau Coliseum. I don't think that management has been notably worse than any other NHL team. The Isles just have zero margin for error like a lot of low revenue teams.
