The level of engagement and participation is impressive, reflecting a community invested in growth.🌺
Let's be honest – the cap was instituted because there were a handful of NHL teams that the league either brought in or moved to cities going back to the 90s that couldn't afford to support a team from a revenue perspective. Whether the market was too small or there just wasn't the interest from fans and corporate sponsors, that was a serious problem. Rather than either working on grassroots efforts to build hockey's popularity in those places or look elsewhere, the league just saw the market size and the money there and thought hockey had to work. If you build it, they will come. What was the owners' solution to that problem? Put some of the franchises on welfare and hope that they got good enough management to build winning teams and generate interest – with ticket prices a fraction of the cost that other fans pay. The cap hasn't slowed down the rise in the salaries of top players. If anything, it squeezed out a lot of really good middle 6 forwards and 4-5 defensemen or made them take less so that the elite players can make even more. If the owners thought the model wasn't sustainable, they should have internal caps with their GMs and those franchises that can't make it, tough. Why should a team that drafted a developed a player into a budding star lose them because a bunch of franchises can't afford to have an NHL team? If anything, there should be a cap minimum. You can exempt teams as necessary if they go into rebuild mode, but they should designate X number of years for that rebuild and once you're past that, you have to get to the cap floor. If GMs want to spend like drunken sailors and their bosses are willing to accept that, fine. Let's be serious – in the early 2000s, having all the money in the world didn't help the Rangers. They tried to buy a Cup, and failed.
As a Canucks fan it’s frustrating that Hronek is thinking about himself over the team. 5-6 million would be generous, but him asking for 8 million is just ridiculous when considering how it’s more than Hughes makes. That’s like Devon Toews asking for 10 million for complimenting Makar so well
