Dolan sucks!!!
Did the big market teams agree to share more of their revenue in exchange for a higher cap?Did anyone read the Hockey News with the hockey wives on the cover?On page 22,Mark Brender wrote the NHL has moved upwards on revenue sharing which angered the big market clubs which hate the idea of sharing their local revenue with the smaller market teams.In exchange,the salary cap could wind up being higher that previous reports which would not include the additional $4-5 million in benefits,signing and performance bonuses,minor league payroll and other costs.Brender wrote the cap could be as high as $40 million with a 100% luxury tax starting at $30 million
Yesterday Bruce Garrioch wrote the cap could be in the $39 million range which will include player salaries,signing and performance bonuses.The $2.2 million for the insurance and pension plan would not be included in the $39 million
A hard cap set at 54% of league revenues -- projected to drop by $300 million to $1.8 billion (all terms US) next season -- that will include all player salaries, signing bonuses and performance bonuses. The $2.2 million teams allot for insurance and pension plan contributions won't be included in that figure. The cap could be in the $39 million range, with a floor of about $24 million. There's talk of a dollar-for-dollar luxury tax starting around the $30 million mark, with that money redistributed to lower revenue teams.

Larry Brooks wrote two weeks ago the cap will be $39.5 million
When the initial reports about the cap were leaked,they were in the $34-36 million with the $2.2 million in benefits included.If it's $39 million without the $2.2 million,then its $3.5 million less than the $42.5 million w/o the $2.2 million offered by the NHL in February
The NHLPA always wanted more revenue sharing as any basis of making a deal.That wasn't part of the February deal.It appears more revenue sharing is part of this deal
Arbitration and qualifying offers will be based on the NHLPA's December 9 proposal
This deal includes upward linkage which wasn't part of the February deal.The February deal did not have a salary floor
One time buyouts not counting against the cap was not part of the February deal
Maybe the NHLPA received/will receive a better deal in July than in February
