I have to say, this is one of the few, if any positives that arose because of the lockout. LOOK at all the player movement!!! Look at the strategy now in trades and signings!!! Teams are no longer just looking for the big name/big-money stars, they're now looking for the best bang for the buck! It also puts the smaller-markets more on a level-playing field with the big-ass markets. THAT is what hockey should be. You want to have the best PLAYING team, not just the one with the most "star players'.
