^ Right. Escrow became an issue for the players when they had certain years where HRR did not increase 5 % year over year, but the NHLPA exercised the option to increase the cap by 5%.
Guys like Toews complain that they are not getting paid every dollar on their contract but if players are guaranteed a percentage of HRR, they did themselves no favours by choosing escalators that outpaced revenues.
