To spark some conversation around here with the lull of the offseason, I figured I'd see what everyone thinks about the NHL and the salary cap.
I know Ken Campbell of THN does not like it one bit due to larger market teams who can pay more are getting screwed due to the cap.
I've always liked it since it's another thing teams need to take into account when acquiring talent and trying to create a balance. It also puts more of a premium on drafting and developing talent instead of being the Rangers and just overpaying for over the hill NHLers pre-salary cap era.
It's also made the league more competitive since every team has a certain amount they can spend, and not one team always getting the top tier UFAs.
Thoughts...?
