As someone living in Canada I am quite happy that the league is done.
My favorite teams like Ottawa and Calgary would get crushed if a salary cap is not implemented. They can survive for a year without hockey, but after that I expect the stupid NHLPA to agree to NHL's terms, especially salary cap. They are getting paid enough as it is, and ticket prices are crazy too.

this does suck... my caps are never gonna play again... I do think they will be back next year and if they are not there are roumers that a whole new league will start with players if this one DOES DISPAND but that probably wont' happen as there is just 2 much money involved.

Sallary CAP is a MUST... at the same time i think they should do a lot more in revenue sharing so its fair to other teams.

Also about salary cap .. without saraly cap the teams like olier of edmonton , trashers of atlana , coyottes of phoneix, predators of nashvilles, blue jackets of colombus and .. and cant survive ... this is all because of bettman .. he brought the hcokey in south of state in phonix, anahaim, nashville, also in some state that there is no intress like florida and atlanta .. bulding a big arena and having no intress ina country that major sports are basketball and baseball ... ! will bring such a result insitit in canada where there is always intress the citys like hamilton, quebec city , winipeg has no hockey team and this is shame!

wow, wow, take it easy!

Since gary bettman took over as commisioner, NHL's revenue have risen 3 folds and the average salary has almost doubled. It is ok to have super strong markets and very weak markets in the same league and as NFL and NBA have demonstrated both markets can have successfull and even competitive franchises.

In order for NHL to become as healthy as NFL and NBA, a salary cap and a linkage is neccessary, and still yet the top players can pull the multi million dollar contracts that they seek, as evident in the NBA.

Goodenow on the other hand not only is the biggest scumbag there is, but is also the most pathetic negotiator NHLPA could have asked for.

Having for ever insisted that a salary cap is out of question and that they would never. never, never, ever accept it, he comes back with 18 hours to go with a salary cap proposal. Why couldn't he come up with it back in July ? Most players are missinformed with regards to the financial situation of the league and the for once fans are on the side of the owners this time.

One thing is for sure, we don't have to deal with likes of greedy a holes like chris chelios anymore.
