Rumored Proposal to Save Season

[Mike Hedrick 01]

I think my Rangers would actually be under that cap.  :-)   (The numbers in the chart above are from well before the 2004 trade deadline.)

Meeting adjourned; PA rejects offer it seems.  Glimmer of hope now gone.

Sounds to me like that wasn't an offer really - at least not a new one. Sounds like the same exact thing they've been saying all along, and nothing close to what was mentioned on this thread. If the NHL thinks they can say the same thing 15 times and get a different answer, they're crazy. Isn't that the mark of insanity? Doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different outcomes?

Reading that article, does anyone actually think that a different cap for each team is a good idea? You're forcing the smaller market teams to not be able to sign as much talent. Isn't making a good team a way to actually raise attendence, viewers, and revenue. So you're damning the small market teams to survive, but to be inherently at a disadvantage.

Now salary isn't everything in the NHL, but is a defined, enforced, unbreakable uneven playing field really how things should be?

The NHL is off its rocker. Bring on the WHA.

Yeah I was very bored watching them win 3 Stanley cups since 1995.

I went to their rink last February.  Rather tomb-like until the third period when a handful of men in Brodeur jerseys started yelling at their own team (to be fair, they were spanked 4-0).  Not only that, but the walls were lined with Nets banners and other squeakball trappings, with barely any Devils stuff at all... pretty sad for the defending national champions.
