he is brutal for twisting the facts and figures to suit whatever side of the argument he is on.. this is no different.. posting top salaries the year BEFORE the major 2004-2005 lockout... so disingenuous..
top 5 post lock out
last season

Except the stats you posted prove his point (that someone other than the top guys were getting the majority of the money)
The cap has gone up by a shade over 87 percent since the first salary cap season (39 million to 73 million)
Yet for some reason the salary for the top five guys you mentioned should have been the following if the salaries of the top 5 guys had kept pace with the increase in the salary cap
1) 15.63 million
2) 14.21 million
3) 14.21 million
4) 14.21 million
5) 13.09 million
The top salaries have not kept up with the salary cap increase and likely will not keep up over time.
