i agree that the nhl needs some kind of salary cap/ luxury tax system. Personally I am more for the luxury tax because the owners did this to themselves, driving prices way high up to out spend each other. For example, see Martin Lapointe.... $5 milllion ...GIVE ME A BREAK!

Yes the NHL doesn't have the luxury of other sports and the current system is not working. I was just explaining the fallbacks of the NFL.. not the NHL. Some of you guys are giving the owners in the NHL too much credit. Although I agree that there needs to be a compromise, let's face it, the owners are just as much to blame as the players... if not more, and now they want to bail themselves out.
