Hmmmm yep I guess that’s a huge hole in it then....
But if it’s 1 to 1. Wouldn’t that still be 50/50?
If the team had to pay a dollar to the other owners pot for every dollar over the cap?
The player gets paid $1 extra. Then Team A's owner gives the other owners $1 to split in revenue sharing.
No new hockey revenue has been generated by Team A giving $1 to the other owners.
Either giving that player the extra $1 breaks the 50/50 split of league revenue between players and owners. Or else all the collective players just surrender back that extra $1 to the owners via escrow.
