It's looking pretty bleak for the NHL right now. After this weekend, we should know the fate of the league. IMO, the players just don't know what's going on. The NHLPA has been bamboozled before, and I think they are again 'drinking the Kool-Aide' and just following their leadership, instead of thinking for themselves. A salary cap really hurts no one, but it affects the richest 10% or less the most. Of course, these are also players that are playing in Europe and such now. What about the grinders that can't make it over to Europe? You know, the guys that are actually getting hurt by not playing? The NHL with a salary cap is a much better situation for the lower 50% of the league than any other option. No other league will pay as much per player, to as many players (30 teams worth) than the NHL. If the league folds, anything that comes to replace it will have less than half the teams, and will have salaries half as high. I'm really hoping some of the players come to their senses.
...takes a breath... that said, the owners are morons too.
