	CNNSI.com - 2001 NHL Preview - Busy offseason, new ownership headline 2001-02 season - Saturday September 29, 2001 12:16 AM
		There were so many big contracts, some wonder if the NHL can dare wait until its labor deal expires in 2004 to establish a salary ceiling that owners and players can live with in a sport that, unlike the NFL, NBA and baseball, can't live off its TV dollars.
		Posted: Saturday September 29, 2001 12:16 AM NEW YORK (AP) -- The landscape of the NHL has changed so much in a year, it might as well be a brand new league.
		The challenge now is to do it for a full season again, something he hasn't done since 1996-97, without a five-time scoring champion (Jagr) skating beside him.

	Democrat & Chronicle: Commentary: McNamara has NBA potential, too
		After two disappointing seasons with Rochester (8 goals and 9 assists in 79 games in 2000-01 and 2001-02), Kristek came of AHL age this season (15 goals and 17 assists in 47 games) and displayed the talent to be a major factor in a successful playoff run by the Amerks.
		One of the few logical reasons for Anthony to return to Syracuse for a sophomore season would be the opportunity to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft.
		McNamara probably lacks the size and speed to ever be an NBA lottery pick, but he is an exceptional shooter and could be a first-round draft choice in the 2006 NBA draft after four years at SU.

	Salary Caps 101: The Real World
		Taking a list of every player who started the season with a major league team, here are the numbers on player salaries (2001-02 for the NFL and NBA, 2002 for MLB and 2002-03 for the NHL).
		The FCIs for the 2002 or 2002/03 seasons are:
		The NFL number is skewed high due to the relatively small number of games they play (16 per season), while MLB is skewed low due to their very long season (162 games), but the NHL and NBA both play 82 games and the difference between them is marked.
