Regs said:.What would stop the NHLPA from starting up their own league?
Uh...money? Like lots of it. Owners have had to build new freaking buildings to earn their money. Are you telling me that some local owner is going to pony up for a new building to pay Todd "the saint" Bertuzzi his millions? Filling up the Coliseum alone won't pay the bills.
One other major factor you've forgotten, Regsi...there are a lot of members in the NHLPA. Think of how many jobs they will lose with your plan to reduce teams to a handful. You think they'll vote on something like that? All the misplaced players (and there are far more of them than "star" players)...they'll come running back to the NHL where there is an established league with rich owners.
It'll never fly. Striker 14 will say something intelligent and/or homorous before that ever happens.
