My point is there will never be a level playing field. Players will always sign where they think they will win a cup if money is all even.Beukeboom Fan said:I think you are missing the point.
The big market teams are more desirable to UFA's today because the players will likely be playing with much more talent. If Palffy can make $6M playing with Staal & Vrbata or make $6M playing with Sakic and Hejduk (just as an example), where do you think he'll sign? COL obviously. However, under a hard cap, COL wouldn't be able to offer Palffy anywhere near the same money because they have to pay Sakic, Blake, Foote, Hejduk, Tanguay, etc.
