I think NHL salary cap has both good and bad qualities. I know that is such a hot take but, as with anything there are things that it helps and there are things that it could definitely do better. One thing that I really like about the NHL salary cap is that it keeps teams at more of a level playing field. When you compare the market size of teams and how that can impact cap structure in a sport like baseball you can see how smaller market teams can become handcuffed and not have the same opportunity to afford starts to keep their team competing. One thing I do not like about the salary cap is the fact that I think we increase the cap far too often allowing teams to become bailed out of irresponsible contracts that they otherwise should not be able to afford. Overall, I think the NHL does a lot better than most other sports when it comes to salary cap and management there of it.
