Dave Andrews has taken the American Hockey League from a struggling independent class-AA circuit to becoming the AAA lynch pin on the NHL's new salary cap system. An insightful sports business interview by MLN Sports senior hockey writer Dan Hickling that investigates the critical role of the minors in pro sports in the dawning age of tighter salary caps. The NHL strike which was played as the doom of hockey by SI, is going to look like one of the smartest moves in the sports business because it removes the stagnation of high-dollar free-agency and keeps the action faster and fan-friendly. - 06:58 AM ET 12.01
