I quote myself here, "I can't see the accuracy of linking league-wise revenue with league-wide salaries when you don't have equal marketplaces for every franchise." How the hell can you have a level playing field when there is no possible way that every franchise has the same circumstances in every possible way?? Personally, I have never heard of anyone propose what I suggested before. Maybe someone has and that's where I got it from. But I don't think its ever been tried before, so how can you say its completely useless with no proof? Hell I'd like to see all the pro-salary cap people prove to me that any form of a cap (either soft or hard) is GUARANTEED with 0% chance of failure to fix the league's problem (without referencing any other sport's CBA and/or cap plan). No one knows what plan will work, regardless of how the other leagues have done it with their CBA's, for the NHL because there are too many differences to factor in.
The only thing you need to have every team on an even playing field is a cap that all 30 teams can reach. If the owners put a system in place that achieves this, there would be 0% of failure.
