The NHL Cap came about for the 05/06 season following a lengthy lock out. It started at 39 million and now it's up to 75 million. We've had 11 or 12 seasons to assess it from a hockey or Flames fan perspective:

-Do you like the cap to encourage league parity and revenue sharing?
-What would you change if anything?
-Would you like to see it eliminated?

While I do like paridy, it's unfortunate seeing teams being decimated because of success. I'd really like to see the league implement a franchise tag for 1 player not counting against the cap. Being a selfish Flames fan, I'd also consider allowing 1 player being buried in the minors in any given year not counting against the cap.
