I got a revenue generating idea for Dave Stern, to get back some of what those poor souls lost from the lock out.
Listen up, big guy, we do this in my kids hockey league:

Set up an end of season tournament for the Worst teams, that way some team gets to end the season feeling good about themselves.


Right now I see a 6 team tourney:
from the East - Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Washington, and New Jersey
from the West - Utah


You can't go by record because the HORRIBLE East teams get to play each other.

This could be a huge money maker - the marketers and late-night comedians will love it.
