It's interesting to consider a salary cap contraction.
If this was baseball or wahtever, 1/3 of the league would be near the bottom of the cap and could absorb troublesome contracts from teams at the top end.
But the NHL salary cap doesn't work that way. There aren't many teams in the league below the cap right now and if they are it's generally because they simply can't afford more salary.
Maybe the players shouldn't have pushed through the accelerator every year it was available....
