If the NHL doesn't feel LV can keep up to at least average, then they are splitting the pie unnecessarily. I don't think the owners need another Carolina or Phoenix!

That's why: WHY BOTHER?
as i tried pointing out in my recent edit that wasn't in time, I am not trying to discuss the merit of Vegas an an expansion city. I am trying to understand how they will calculate the cap.

But of course they hope and feel Vegas will help them make more money, but there is no guarantee. They are taking a risk hoping it pans out, much like any investment.
