More tarp covered stadiums

The blackout policy, however, poses another hurdle for teams. Many clubs that struggle to sell out in the days before a home game frequently cut deals with sponsors to sell the tickets for less than face value. Often, the team itself buys the tickets back for less than face value to ensure that the game is televised locally.

The club is still required to pay the visiting team’s share back to the league, though. That amount is 34 percent of face value.

One team source suggested this was a problem for many teams. Also, this source said, for teams with personal seat license holders, selling highly discounted tickets creates appearance issues with the fans who spent significant sums for their seats.

Hmm.

For PSL owners it is more than an appearance problem. Nothing pisses me off more than opposing fans flooding the stadium with discount tickets paying 30% of what the PSL owners paid. Or folks bragging about how they got the same level seat I did for 5 bucks. Sure I don't blame them for doing it, but it still pisses me off.:mad:

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
