I Share season tickets.  There are four of us, we draft games ala a fantasy sports league.  the last three games taken are always the preseason games.  This year's fodder is the The Blow Jobs, I mean the Blue Jackets, the Hawks and the Sabres,  all of witch come during the regular season as well.  I am sorry but going to these games seems like a chore.   We do not get every team here in the regular season and I don't think I am alone as Wild fan, that I am also a fan of the NHL in general.   Why woudn't the teams try to add some value and interest to these games by bringing in teams that do not come here during the regular season.  I have more than enough chances to see Columbus and Chicago this year to get excited about the games in the preseason.   Now, if my only chance to see New Jersey, The Flyers, The Rangers, Ottawa, or even the revamped Lightning live was during the preseason,  I would be able to say, "Hey it's the only time they are in town this year.".   It wouldn't be nearly the chore it is and maybe I might take some interest in the preseason game, instead of just giving the tickets to my brother in law, which is what I probably do if I do not get the first pick in the draft, on the other hand if I do get the first pick, I will still end up having to shell out cash to the other drafters to make up for the value of my extra reguar season ticket.  predetermined values for each game before the lottery.
