Winners and Losers in NHL Lockout

Kevin Allen of USA TODAY assesses the aftermath of the NHL lockout.

Winner: Owners. They will receive a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue after receiving only 43% in the previous CBA. Based on last year's revenue, that change would mean an additional $231 million a year. That translates to well over $2 billion over a 10-year CBA, and it could push toward $3 billion with some strong growth. The 50-50 split was the owners' primary objective.

Loser: Arena employees, local businesses, NHL employees and some team employees. They have lost money in their revenue or their paychecks, and there is no direct benefit for them in the owners' windfall. NHL employees took a 20% pay cut.
