We should have PTO`d Lucic in retrospect. Big, mean, tough and a proven winner. The guys could have learned a lot from his leadership and character.
Probably going to overpay Roslowvic now ffs.
I will be VERY pissed if this happens.
will there be any drop in attendance figures with the new ticket prices coming out? I imagine a decent amount of backlash
Not even in the slightest, there will always be some idiot willing to part with a car payment to watch the Leafs.

Prepare to be pissed.
No chance. It will only help to rid the building of the serfs and peasants that are noisy and disruptive like that Kurtis from Alberta.
I agree Wedgie, it will help keep the Convoy Clown types out of the building.[/quote]
Holy shit, someone still putting up fake posts supposedly from me
It’s long overdue, a Maple Leafs ticket revolt. I’m tired of subsidizing 2/3rds of the NHL with Revenue Sharing. Let the southern teams dry up, whither and die. They already get all of the tax benefits and we still send them money to keep them operational. There should be a 3 year moratorium on Revenue Sharing. If you can’t make it, in 3 years, you’re franchise is relocated or folded. Enough of this sh!t!

Franchise values increased by almost 50% last year and the Leafs are now worth more than $4B. Owners are happy and nobody is interested in making any changes.

Yes, amazing plan; boycott the tickets that nobody can afford!
I’m sure every corporate entity will join the cause.

Except Leafs ticket prices would be completely unaffected if they eliminated revenue sharing.
Ticket prices are not tied to costs – it’s simply supply and demand.
I hate that the price I pay for tickets partially funds weaker clubs, but if revenue sharing was eliminated, MLSE wouldn’t lower ticket prices – they would simply make more profit.
Having said that, I would like to see the NHL adopt a soft cap like MLB – I strongly believe that baseball benefits financially by having big market teams have a slight advantage.
You either love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees, but either way, you are paying attention to them.

100%.
There should be a soft cap of 5-10% of the total cap that teams are allowed to go over for a brief period of time. Perhaps limit teams to only 3 overages every 5 years or something like that. Additionally, include a dollar for dollar tax that goes directly to revenue sharing so that weak teams can still benefit from the system.
Perhaps also look at a franchise tag type of provision that allows teams to grossly overpay one player without it counting against the cap so teams have better odds of retaining their cornerstone player.

I bet there would be a change if the Federal and Provincial governments took away the Entertainment write-off provision. If the Corporate Elites had to actually pay for their tickets, they might just say, “No Thanks!” Maybe then, tickets would become available for less. On one other note, I don’t know why that the Canadian teams and other U.S. markets didn’t fight harder in-regards-to evening up the tax situations that favour the Southern, no income tax states. There needs to be balance. Canadian teams can’t afford Canadian players, due to the taxation issues. American and some European players can have their bonuses paid in their own jurisdiction and save a lot of money. Canadians? They’re stuck with the Elbows Up your ass government that would rather have it as Hand’s up, as they steal your wallet.

Turkeys voted for Thanksgiving, now they’re reading the menu.
Elbows down, knee pads on.
Ticket prices are insane, I think I may just use the $ I usually use to hit some Leafs games and go to some jays playoff games or maybe go see the Leafs on the road.
Also to those who can’t help themselves and have to make sure they insert some political narrative into their reply to show everyone how smart they are kindly take that bullshit somewhere else. This comment is directed at both the people who think they need to comment about the right and the left by the way, I have zero interest in reading any of it on a hockey site.
