Not All Teams Can Be ‘Healthy’

from Jason Kay of The Hockey News,
The Colorado Avalanche had the best running start of any newly located franchise ever. They already possessed Sakic and Peter Forsberg when they got to Denver and, shortly after they arrived, added Patrick Roy. Put those greats in Phoenix, mix in two Stanley Cups and the story would be dramatically altered.
At any given moment, whether there are six teams in the league, 12, 21 or 30, there will be perennial losers who struggle. There’s only a very small handful of markets that can sustain long periods of failure and not be hurt financially.
Throw in a CBA that, despite promises, is flawed, and there’s no way we can have 30 healthy franchises – not all at the same time. Just ask the good people of Colorado.
