I don't disagree that a hard cap isn't bad at all for the big markets, in a financial sense.
but if they can still spend more than some other teams in a luxury tax world, that can't help but be an advantage as well, not as tangible (because that advantage is in a competition sense, in getting higher priced players who may/may not help them perform better on the ice) as the extra dollars they'd get from a hard cap though.
