When teams/players pull injury shenanigans they're essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul & only hurting the players. The players get 50% of revenue no more no less. The more injuries and "injuries" artificially increase the cap to only increase player escrow. The back diving deals like Hossa are one thing, a contract like Dustin Browns or Lucic is another.
