That is how a hard cap can create competitive balance. Chicago is the perfect example. Pay the top players what they are worth. I hope Karlsson gets 12M.wprager wrote:The problem is the max salary being 20% of the cap. Did they take that straight out of the NBA CBA? You can get away with that in the NBA because of the roster size difference. Your top line NHL forward is on the ice for 1/3 of the time. You still need high the talent for the second line. In basketball you can literally have 3 superstars who are on 30-45 minutes and scrubs the rest of the roster
With the cap projected to go to $75M the max salary is $15M. At 15% it would be $11.25M.
Let's say Crosby and Malkin are making the max, or $30M. That leaves $45M for the remaining 21 player's on the roster. With the minimum salary below $600K you can certainly do that, but you are not winning back to back Cups.

Yeah I agree. 15% would be more reasonable. Salaries will get insanely high. Guess we still have a long ways to wait till the next CBA?wprager wrote:The problem is the max salary being 20% of the cap. Did they take that straight out of the NBA CBA?

Texas has no state income tax. Ran the numbers using sine online calculators and with a $4.9M annual salary, 76 cents on the dollar, he's saving $1.17M USD over two years.
Of course he's using various deductions and income deferral and whatnot so the actual savings is hard to calculate.
