I think there may be a solution that doesn't involve any salary caps or
luxury taxes. People should always be paid based on their performance
over a year. Most businesses have some kind of performance review.
I was thinking of something along these lines:
These salaries would be for wingers and centerman. Salaries are over a
80 game schedule and can be pro-rated for injuries during the year. So
30 goals scored over 40 games would be equivalent to a 60 goal scorer
over 80 if an injury occured that would make a player miss the rest of
the seaon. I'm sure there is some kind of insurance that would cover the difference.
0-19 goal scorer should get $750,000 a year. Bonuses of $10,000 per
assist over 20.
A 20-29 goal scorer should get $1,000,000 a year. Bonuses of $10,000 per
assist over 20.
A 30-39 goal scorer should get $1,500,000 a year. Bonuses of $10,000 per
assist over 20.
A 40-49 goal scorer should get $2,250,000. Bonuses of $10,000 per assist
over 20.
A 50-59 goal scorer should get $3,000,000. Bonuses of $10,000 per assist
over 20.
A 60+ goal scorer should get $3,750,000. Bonuses of $10,000 per assist
over 20.
Defenseman can be rated on a plus/minus system with bonuses for goals
and assists.
Goalies can be rated by goals against with bonuses for games won over a
certain amount.
Baseline is if you have a great previous season, you get a great raise for next season.
If you have a poor season, you get paid accordingly.
I believe you would find that players wouldn't shift around the league
because all salaries would be consistent with all teams. I think you
may find that overall salary cost for the teams would be fairly
consistent from year to year.
