Why is there so much less drama in NHL free agency compared to that of the NBA?

Why is there so much less drama in NHL free agency compared to that of the NBA?

Because the NHL is a tiny niche sport with a tiny fanbase while the NBA is a word wide phenomenon with billions of fans worldwide.

/thread

cuz no one pays attention to it, though panthers signed and resigned good people

Because 1 player can basically carry a team in NBA and that isn't possible in NHL

NHL does not have the cap space NBA does so teams can't do what thw warriors did without taking massive paycuts, that and the biggest free agent in the NHL stuck with his team

ESPN doesn't care about hockey because they have no hockey. That and its a smaller league

The NHL just had a fucking nuts offseason.

But it isn't aired on ESPN

But the NBA only makes 30% more...

> niggers

>baseball
Bullshit lmao

Because one superstar can't carry a team. Most Cup winning GM's are conservative when their team is in/near championship contention.

That's america only

Stay mad Jerome. Twice as much profit as cuckhoop. Meanwhile hockey has higher attendance than basketball lelmao

Hockey has more followers in Canada and Scandinavia than cuckhoop does in the rest of the world
>muh Spain and Lithuania

Baseball is far more popular regionally. Dodgers are bigger than the Lakers. Red Sox bigger than Celtics.

Asians like basketball too

People go to baseball games.
People watch LeBron vs XYZ on TNT

NBA isn't very big. LeBron James is big.
I don't think 10 teams in the NBA have 100% attendance

What have they contributed

Yao ming

LIN

Lmao literally watching a baseball game rn with an empty stadium.
Fucking no one likes baseball anymore it just so many damn games they get higher attendances

Why would anyone buy season tickets for teams other than the Warriors/Cavaliers/Spurs?

It's a weekday dipshit
They still get 20k+ people which is what basketball stadiums fill if the teams are good

Baseball makes more money than apehoop faggot

Why are they so much more profitable?

Apeball makes more money than boreball tho

>Trust fund ice stick

Sorry but that's not a sport

>billions of fans worldwide

...

NBA is a beauty contest that has so much advertising and features on E!SPN and every other sports show and only beats hockey attendance by a few hundred. lel

In your neighborhood maybe

Because this years NBA ones had franchise players moving around.

Give me one statistic proving that

The NHL's offseason has actually been super batshit so far

It's the most poular sport in America

Everybody knows Michael Jordan, I doubt 1% of the world is capable of naming a single hockey player.

>makes 30% more

Your chart shows popularity in the US, not the revenue of each league. You fucking idiot.

Wayne Gretsky?

Is that one?

This desu

nba is a star driven league which is why you see this whole colluding by players in free agency. more star players = more likely to win a chip. nhl is team driven with competition leveled among the sport

Charlie Sheen was a player for the LA Mighty Ducks, that's why he did that movie about a kid's team with the same name

It isn't. Football is the most popular sport in America and it's not even close. The question is which sport is second: baseball or basketball.

Fuck niggers and apehoop

That's what I meant
apeball=football
Apehoop=basketball

Dumbass, that's right on the money.

3.7B * (100% + 30%) or 1.3 = 4.8B

1% of the white world could

That's before the new TV deal, it's $5.5 billion for the NBA now.

Damn BBVA behind Bundes and barely in front of Serie A? How? Cause Spain economy is shit? I see Barcelona and Real Madrid kits all the time here in the states. Never seen a Serie A and maybe one Bundes jersey

LOL
no

ice fight is fucking irrelevant

Michael Jordan and Lebron James are world famous athletes, anywhere in the world

Literally no one outside of some frozen shithole has ever heard of a single icefight player

NHL superstars almost never hit free agency, and the ones that do are usually washed up.

Because baseball stadiums hold 70k people you numbnut. Selling out 100% capacity at higher ticket prices is better than selling 40% capacity with lower prices and more people

das racisss.

This anti baseball posts always type like they are 12 year olds on twitter

There aren't any hood rats who rose to fame in the NHL.

Name a single ballpark with more than 60k seats.

>baseball stadiums hold 70k people

you wot
