Labour unrest coming to the NHL again…

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

In case you didn’t think another labour unrest is coming check out this article about the NHL Salary Cap rising by $6.4M. This converts into each team being able to spend up to $56.7M with a MINIMUM of $40.7 million. As a quick reminder, before the lock out the average team payroll was $44M and only 9 teams had a payroll larger than: $40.7 million!

Does anyone remember the players talking about a hard cap at $44M? I bet the NHL Owners are wishing they had that and a year of revenues back… so much money… so little brains!
