-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.

You make it sound like getting rid of the salary cap would benefit the Flames. It wouldn't. The Flames are not a serious risk to move right now, but they would be if they remove the cap or made it weaker.
