Not sure what that rule actually entails but from the brief point you gave, sounds dumb as hell. There's a cap for a reason.

Yeah, still not good. There is already shared revenue for teams, and we don't need a team like Pittsburgh or Tampa having even more flexibility.
MLB doesn't have a cap. But they instituted the luxury tax to prevent teams from spending excessive amounts.
NBA is stupid. They have the soft cap, the hard cap, and the luxury tax instituted. The soft cap is used so that you can spend over the cap for things like mid level exceptions and rookie contracts and veterans (bunch of complicated contract stuff). Hard cap is the cap before luxury tax. So you can spend up to I think $119 million before the luxury tax kicks in. It's all really stupid.
As an unbiased Leafs fan, I would welcome it, it's whats best for you peasan- I mean, other teams

Something like a luxury tax might make sense. The system is not equal right now with some states providing great taxation rates versus others. Clearly money is not valued the same way if you go to team to team, you either need to come up with an individual salary cap for each team or implement a luxury tax.

I can't imagine that Pittsburgh gets much revenue sharing.

No the NHL should not because this would help richer teams gain a advantage making the NHL go back somewhat to before the salary cap.

I referred to Pittsburgh about spending over the cap, not revenue sharing. Didn't think I needed to explicitly say that.

No. The cap is the best thing about hockey

I would prefer some flexibility. Particularly a system that allowed teams to exceed the cap to re-sign their own players to some degree but not to acquire free agents or traded assets.

Goal from the blue line is worth 3 goals.

They also don't have guaranteed contracts. You'd have to redo the entire CBA for this and I don't see the NHLPA agreeing to it

Go Habs!
The NHL should adopt this only if the NBA adopts the NHL's awful loser point system for games that go to overtime. If one league adopts the other's bad idea, the other should do the same.

Toronto did so good when there wasnt a salary cap last time.As an unbiased Leafs fan, I would welcome it, it's whats best for you peasan- I mean, other teams
Soft caps and renegotiable contracts suck and I say this as a fan of a team that would benefit from spending beyond the cap and has some albatross contracts.

NHLPA would never agree to this. Other than that, having a cap is great for the league. Just because Pens, Kings and Hawks have won a lot of cups, doesn't mean cap sucks.

This has been asked a million times and the answer is always no. And before more Leaf fans chime in about how they hate the cap, if there was no cap then there is no Matthews in Toronto. The cap forced the Leafs to embrace a rebuild instead of continually trying to buy a cup.
We were one of the best teams from the late 90s to mid 00s (pre lockout).
And yeah without a hard cap we could stack our teams because we could afford it.
