08:56 AM ET 08.16 | This past season, hockey in South Florida became relevant again. The [Panthers] must capitalize on its recent success, especially because it will now have to compete with LeBron James' Miami Heat, which will play a full season this year. ... The defending Stanley Cup champions ought to be one of the NHL's top stories heading into next year, but the team may be forgotten in its own hometown if next season is cancelled or even delayed. It's doubtful that the Kings could afford the loss; while Los Angeles ranked tenth in our most recent NHL team valuations, the team was actually losing money and had a seventh-worst debt-to-value ratio of 66%. Every one of the NHL's 30 teams would be hurt by a lockout next season, but Florida and Los Angeles are the two most in need of continued play.
