The players earning about 75 percent of the money is not a good thing. Hockey has lost over like 2 billion the past 10 years. I think that should justify a change.

Higher salaeries means higher ticket prices which means less people can afford to attend which means less people will go. Unless you have a winning team, or are hot it's hard to always sell out and that hurts.
