It is true and that’s the issue. The 20% cap was for a single year with the players “extra share” to be essentially paid back over time through subsequent escrows while hockey revenue returned to normal.
But it’s clear the 20% no longer makes sense. No reason for the owners to front all this money and the current year player share needs to be closer to reality.
