The NHL salary cap I feel is needed to balance out the league as there is lower earning teams, would be consigned to be forever terrible as they would not be able to maintain talent, or pay large contracts. I believe it adds a different element to the game of maintaining a solid budget, and trying to build a team within the limitations provided to you. It’s basically like a set of challenges put forth and makes the cup that much more impressive when you can put together a team under specific limitations, rather than just outright buying the best players in the sport and running a dynasty.

Basically, no salary cap, if a team is managed correctly, theoretically could see the richest teams in the league dishing out big sums of money to sign talent, where as the poorer teams being left with the leftovers. This would theoretically see the richer teams being more competitive than the poorer teams.

No system however is perfect, however I do not have any suggestions on how to improve it at this time, I have not been following the NHL for 2 seasons now, so I am a bit out of the loop.
