The reason that escrow is typically negative (a clawback) is because too many teams are paying players more than the midpoint of the salary band. In other words, the players are being overpaid. Escrow simply corrects that fact. Escrow ensure that the players get 50% of HRR, regardless of how much teams are paying them.
This should not be difficult for any high school level student to understand.

Aren't a lot of them less educated than this, for all intents and purposes? They're pretty focused on hockey as teenagers.
