It will be interesting to see how the NHL cap will handle the inevitable downturn in revenue. Up to now, teams have always counted on the cap going up. Things will get pretty ugly if the NHL takes a 10% hit on revenue over a couple years.

Well, yeah. The NHL CBA can end before MLB's does, so that's inevitable. Especially with people like the Fehrs in charge of the NHLPA who thrive on conflict and will be looking to try and break linkage entirely as a means of eliminating escrow. But, in the end, they will fail, and the solution will be the very same five minute fix I just mentioned.
