Hockey prompt

I think having a salary cap is a must for hockey. We cannot let some teams like Montreal, Toronto and New York run the league just because they’re bigger markets, earn more and can get any player they want. Parity is a need for hockey, to grow the market, and restraining some teams from being good will not grow anything. While it should progressively go up, I don’t think copying a team like the MLB where you tax teams going over the cap works, as the teams not respecting the limits can just pay their way out of trouble anyways. It also makes cap space valuable and an actual asset, for example in the case of Chicago and Arizona this year. While it can limit trading, it makes sure of a certain fairness in the league considering salaries, a thing that does not exist in every league. So overall I think the salary cap in the NHL is a good thing rather than something to change!
