I find it incredibly frustrating that the NHL isn't playing right now because the owners lack the discipline to enforce a salary cap on their own by not offering such high contracts.
If the owners truly cared about the league that much, they would offer better revenue sharing. Yes, the Rangers for instance get more in TV revenue than the Canucks, but the rangers get no money without the other team playing.
I think at least one third of all revenue from the home team should go to the visiting team. Or at least a way to keep the league closer to parity salary wise. If there is a salary cap, there should be a salary floor, so that there is a minimum team salary too, so that owners don't just rake in the $ by taking the shared revenue and not investing it in the team.
But that's just me.
