I'm not a cap guy, but I don't get how the cap is going up like it is. I mean fine Vegas is there, but that's just adding a larger pool of money to a larger pool, it shouldn't be bumping everyone's cap from 3 to 5 million bucks.
I mean frankly isn't a 3 million dollar increase equivalent to about $500 million in increased revenue?
I'm watching quite a few games and seeing a lot of empty seats in a lot of rinks including Vancouver and Ottawa, so I'm not sure how that makes sense.
