it's amazing that the fate of the nhl is in the hands of 8 owners i believe it should be 15 owners since their are 30 nhl clubs
after all that's more democratic

The Eight Man Salary Cap Band - Wirtz, Jacobs, Craig Leipold in Nashville, Peter Karmanos in Carolina, Cal Nichols in Edmonton, Harley Hotchkiss in Calgary, Ted Leonsis in Washington, and Alan Cohen in Florida - wants a system in which the wealthiest teams are reduced to their teams' minimal payroll level - and minimal on-ice success.The Maltais Falcon said:What makes you certain only eight owners are deciding the fate of the league?

PecaFan said:Essentially. The whole reason we're in this mess is that *last time*, barely over 50% voted for the CBA in 1994. That's pretty telling, almost half the league knew in 1994 that the CBA was already messed up. But with the 50% + 1 rule in place, it went through.

You'd better believe there are a hellova lot more owners out there that want the salary cap. A very notable omission is Ottawa there. I would think Montreal, Vancouver, Pittsburg and Phoenix would want something there too.The Messenger said:The Eight Man Salary Cap Band - Wirtz, Jacobs, Craig Leipold in Nashville, Peter Karmanos in Carolina, Cal Nichols in Edmonton, Harley Hotchkiss in Calgary, Ted Leonsis in Washington, and Alan Cohen in Florida - wants a system in which the wealthiest teams are reduced to their teams' minimal payroll level - and minimal on-ice success.

Why would McCaw who has spent years turning this team around and putting together a strong business and marketing stratagy want to shoot himself in the foot with this lockout????

John Flyers Fan said:All 30 owners would like a salary cap, that isnt' really up for debate.
What the owners disagree on is, what the floor level should be, what the ceiling should be, how much revenue sharing should there be .... and the big one:
How much pain (loss of games, seasons etc.) is worth the gain (cap) ???
