Guest mindfly Report post Posted March 9, 2009 I love the salary cap and wish they would have something like it in other sports as well.. Look at the English Premier League in soccer. You have the same 4 teams that have been in the top 4 positions every season for god knows how many straight years. It's still fun to see the top teams play and fight amongst eachother for the top position, because they are so stacked with talent, but it'd be fun if there was atleast the possibility of any other team getting involved in the fight. I'm sure the salary cap has problems, but it has made the NHL so much more interesting than it used to be. As much as I hate it that the Wings can't bring up the Grand Rapids kids at will and couldn't afford a goalie at the deadline etc., I still think that overall the salary cap does more good than it does bad and it sure has made the NHL more fun to watch. I mean, who isn't excited about the battle for the playoff spots that is really starting to heat up right about now? But if you ask the fans of the less good premier league teams they still love them and they don't care if they can't win the championship, you support the team you were raised up to support, end of story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the case of soccer, the teams who aren't able to compete for 1st place still have other goals to play for. Such as getting champions-league spots or avoiding demotion. Still, I'm sure pretty much everyone would think it was more fun if more teams were competing for 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They gave up an entire season to get the hard cap, there's no way they'll give it up after one go-around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
