The Canadian Dollar is at a three year low:

Can the Canadian teams be competitive? |
Considering the dollar was at $0.97 when the season started and none of the teams have dumped salary... it doesn't mean anything to this year's record.
Going forward.. maybe to teams like Winnipeg or Ottawa... the rest unless it goes back to $0.65 doubtful. They'd just be rich instead of super rich (Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver will still be super rich)
