		The NHL was merrily rolling along, adding a decade of expansion revenue to half a century of holding players under the reserve clause, when the upstart World Hockey Association spoiled all the, um, spoils.
		The NHL let small-market Ottawa into the league the year before solely because it was one of only two bidders willing (though not necessarily able at first) to pay a $50 million entry fee -- the powers that be, the very ones crying poverty today, did not look past their greed for one split second.
		NHL awards (payment for winning playoffs and trophies) are counted as player costs -- within salary, in fact, even though they are paid by the NHL, not by teams, only to winners.
