Say a large team like NYR, Leafs or Montreal won the cup, would their success have any bearing on future cap increases?

Assume that all regular season revenues are the same.
Then, the only difference is the increased revenue from the home games for the large market teams.
Let's say that the Leafs have the max, 16 home games. At about 20,000 fans a game, that would be 320,000 tickets sold. Let's just say that each ticket sells for $100 more in Toronto than it could anywhere else. That means 32M more dollars of league wide revenue.
League wide revenue sees about 35% of playoff ticket revenue go to the revenue sharing program, so, let's call that 1/3. There goes about 10.5M of the extra already, leaving about 22M of extra $$.
The CBA requires 1/2 to go the players, so that would be 11M to the players. That gets spread over 31 teams, so you are down to 330K per team.
Now, you might say, 'Wait a minute. Leafs playoff tickets will sell for WAYYY more than that. But, even if you say that every ticket sells for $400 more than in other markets, it's still only about 1 -1.5M difference in the salary cap situation.
So, yes, it can affect it. But, not much.
Does the league not get any percentage of profit from merchandise sold? Advertisments based around just the team? Serious question.
