Which teams will have a 50 mil. payroll..?....anyone know?
So that means the player maximum is $10.06 mil??? Yikes! Will anyone see it? Does anyone in the league deserve it?
It increases because the Canadian dollar has been increasing in value every year compared to the US dollar. So when you convert Canadian club profits to US dollars it gives the appearance that they made more money this year. If the Canadian dollar drops in value, they will be in trouble.Anyhow... I can't see the cap continues to rise this much year to year although with the extra jersey revenues this year it would surpirse me next year but you've got to think ticket prices are close to being maxed out and this is a primarily gate driven league.

You're talking about the 5% inflator provision - had the NHLPA waived it as they did last year, the cap would have been at $47.9 million. They didn't - so we have the higher cap number. Leaving the inflator out would have held player salaries down, but would have also held down the amount the players have to pay into escrow.So my question is this - did the union wave (can't exactly remember what its called) the 5% escrow deal?
In other words from what I read the union had the option of either:
1. waiving the 5% escrow and increase the higher cap limit (which was rumored to be 50 mil if waived) but run the risk of paying more out in escrow at the end of the year to the owners if they took in more than their alloted 55% of total revenues...
2. include the 5% and have a lower cap limit (rumored to be 48 mil) which would lessen the blow that the players would have to pay out to the owners as there would be more money in that escrow account in case players collected more than their 55% of revenues.
IB your our designated cap expert here - does that make sense to you?
or maybe with the new CBA the owners are being forced to report revenues that previously were being moved into other accounting groups.
It doesn't really matter for Oilers because they are going to spend upto $45 million.
Wow, I sure am glad we lost a whole season due to lockout. Thanks again Gary.

Good to see they got salaries under control

And if last year was a sign of anything, the players will end up paying 10-12% into escrow this year like last year - and will probably lose most of it at the end of the season as teams race like hell to spend to the limit ASAP.
Yes, completely ignore the drop from a $60 million range in payroll to $16 million.
Yeah, they'll magically report more revenue just so they can pay players more money in addition to paying more taxes.
Next thing you'll tell me aliens are causing the cap to go up.
They do. Without the cap, teams like the Leafs would be winging $8-9M contracts around to everyone. Besides, it'll start going down soon enough.
anyone know what the nba soft cap is??? i heard it was around 50 million also.
edit: It was 53 million last year in the NBA.
Also for reference, the NFL salary cap was 102, and will probably be 109 this year.
But to show how meaningless the NBA's soft cap (with its boatload of exceptions) - 25 out of 30 NBA teams exceeded last seasons $53.135M cap, some almost $30M over:anyone know what the nba soft cap is??? i heard it was around 50 million also.
