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..

I don't know how anyone could look at the NHL cap structure and not come to the conclusion that the middle class salaries have risen WAY more than the top salaries.
Iginla after the lockout. $7 million.
2107, 2 of the top players in the league (Kane, Kopitar, Toews)- $10 million.
Not much difference.
Compare that to someone like Mike Cammalleri:
In 06-07 he scored 80 points. His contract after- $3.3 million.
In 08/09 he had another big season for the Flames- 82 points. He gets $6 million.
After 5 injury plagued and relatively disappointing seasons for the Canadiens and Flames he gets signed by New Jersey for $5 million.
In 08/09 $6 million got you a first line all star.
Today it gets you 50 points.
