tantalum said:The whole mediocrity thing is BS. Their are dominant teams in cap leagues from year to year and their are perpetually terrible teams. Some teams have better scouting and prospect development, better management, better coaching, better chemistry and some are worse and that will continue. A cap doesn't guarantee a team can necessarily hold onto a player as the player still has a right to find employment where he wants (after all a consequence of the cap will be increased free agency) but that team will now be able to find a similar player without having to worry about excessive salary escalation.
the only major league with a hard cap is the NFL. I agree that there continues to be bad teams, but please name some of the dominant ones over the last decade.
The NBA has a soft cap, which allows teams to go over in order to retain their FA's. Its a system I endorse for the NHL.
