Why are all the Oilers fans I've talked to today assuming that the NHL salary cap is going to advance so fast to these lofty heights? There seems to be a lot of assumption but no crystal balls to provide any evidence that this is set in stone. How exactly are teams like the Panthers, Coyotes, Stars, Avalanch, etc going to be able to ice competitive teams (without undergoing complete 180 in attendance figures) with an $80 million cap?
