The whole escrow thing is overblown IMO. They are sharing in revenues, so yeah there’s no way to know with certainty what they will be at start of year.

Escrow complaints are stupid (many players are simply dumb about it...), but structuring the cap based around a "midpoint" that nearly every single team exceeds is also stupid.
Big market teams don't need help (although it seems evident that Canadian teams do need some help) - this would just be another way to enhance revenue sharing. Getting the Rangers/Leafs/Habs to the finals more than once in the next 25 years would certainly be a good thing for the league...
