Dynasties are dead. Big money contracts killed them. Big ego players killed them. They are dead. They will never be back.
Get over it and move on.

PecaFan said:Yes, yet another. Not following along? The Patriots, Eagles, Lakers, Spurs , Cowboys, 49'ers, etc, all cited examples in this thread of sustained excellence under caps.
PepNCheese said:Apparently you're the one not following along. Are you still on the NBA teams? That was already addressed. The NBA is nothing like the capped NHL will be. Get that through your head.

i dont agree. i think maybe there are some drops in salary, but the top guys are going to make as much as the always have - and it will create situations like the iginla one. they will have to make a choice - because someone will have cap space and offer him the money. there isnt a limit on how much you can pay one guy really, its do you have enough cap space for him. i think it wiull take a few years for everything to even out and for parity to exist - then teams will figure out how much they can pay their stars and still keep enough money for the rest of the team. till then, young teams with cap space can go crazy signing superstars to whatever they want as long as they have room. i think it will be ugly the first couple of years.Mr.Hunter74 said:I dont think this is entirely accurate.
Under a cap system I would imagine that the amount of money that Franchise players make will drop somewhat and the same for all other types of players. Especially since the clubs will retain the players rights untill they are 30. Since GM's know exactly what they are allowed to pay out they will really be tryign to make sure they can pack as much talent into the roster as possible without going over the salary limite and possibly leaving room in the budget so they can make trades or recall players incase of injury. If DW has a 30mil payrole to work with maybe he will leave 15mil to be split up between his 3 better players? The going rate for franchise players might not be around $5mil under a new economic system. That might make it possible for teams to keep there better players.
I dont think Calgary is gonna be handing Iginla more than $6mil when the NHL starts back up under a cap system. Otherwise they will always be a 1 player team.
Much like the NFL was until the Eagles and Pats came along in the last approx. 5 years and showed teams how it's done. Actually, you could probably add Pittsburgh in there as well, since they've been generally very good over that same time span, and done it mostly through good drafting on the defensive side.bleedgreen said:i think it will be ugly the first couple of years.
