If they had done the lockout properly you would not see 2nd line players making $6 million. The reason 2nd line players can make $6 million is because dumb owners and greedy agents know the cap is going to keep going up and up.
But they lowered the % linkage. It only goes up if HRR goes up. So yes, it may go to $70M, but that means the league is making more money so they can pay the players more money. I don't really have any issues with that.
