The NHL players are going to be doing very well even with a hard cap.Some players will be squeezed but those players were already overpaid so it evens out or are the end of their careers or coming off disappointing seasons.The big guys will still make their money
"I think we got a great deal," Shanahan said over breakfast last Tuesday. "No. 1, I'll just start off with some of the things that were never taken away that could have been taken away, like guaranteed contracts. Thank God that never came up."
The people that think we got the worst deal in sports have not looked at our deal," Shanahan said.
One reason, he said, is the N.H.L.'s more liberalized approach to free agency.
"I think a lot of players were really afraid that this was going to be a deal that was really restrictive and that would hurt them," Shanahan said, before referring to the recent flurry of activity in the free-agent market. "And look at the movement! Look at the player signings! The difference is that they're not all going to New York, Detroit, Philadelphia. Now, the excitement that Detroit used to have on July 1, and New York, now it's happening in Columbus and it's happening in Nashville and it's happening in Atlanta.."
