I think the NHL salary cap at it's core is good. Having a salary cap is important, and it's far better than an unregulated system, or a system like the NBA. There's still a lot of things in the NHL salary cap that I think need a lot of work, but I know it's also an insanely complicated system. We talk in a really zoomed out way of looking at the cap, but in reality, the NHL salary cap isn't a year long system. It's week-to-week. The trade deadline can work the way it does because 80% of the season's salary has already been paid. It's far more complicated than most of us can understand. Would I like to see it simplified and increased? Yes. Escrow is bad for the players. I also understand why escrow is there. Players and owners get a 50/50 split of profit, but it's all based on a forecast. It would be nice to see a better system that doesn't require such steep amounts.
