I have to side with the players on most points.....however in terms of a Salary Cap, I think it's needed.
If practically every team in the league loses money, even winning teams, somehting must be changed.
If the average hockey player is comparing himself to someone in the NBA or NFL at the same level as he is, that's not right. The NBA / NFL get wayyyyyyyyy more revenue coming in from sources like TV.
It would be the same situation if you were working as a programmer at a small company and they pay you $15/hour. Your friend does the same job as you but is getting $50/hour. The difference? The amount of money the company is generating can dictate how much they can pay.
I have no problem with a superstar getting 8-10 million per year, because he is probably worth it. However a role player, who was getting probably 1 million few years back, getting 3-4 million now is ridiculous
