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.


the thing is that the way things are going it really is the players, players liek lapoint wold hold out till they get salaries like that. there are only 2 or three owners to blame and those are the rangers, the wings, and the leafs. the thing is that the owners have no choice if a star player holds out then they have there hands tied. owners need players like that to get money, and get good teams. you are right though the owners are a lil at fault.

yeah but the NFL is big in the US so they get shit loads of money, the NHL is different because we dont have that big market. NHL players should be making the least out of the 4 major sports simply because the NHL draws in the least amount of money. you right thou the rights of the players in the NFL are abused but the overall system that is there is very good. with a few kinks it cold work in the NHL.

Luke, you spent a lot of time away from the forums, and you probably had good reasons for doing so. Since this is my final year of law school, I don't know how much I'll be hanging around, and Shimmy may eventually catch up.










Who am I kidding? Suck my wake, Shimmy!


there was a time when you where sucking my wake.
