This may not be popular but a rising salary cap and increasing revenues are bad from a fan perspective.

NHL teams don’t need more money. NHL players don’t need more lucrative contracts. Fans don’t need higher prices to access pro hockey or enjoy an event in person, or support their team, etc. We don’t need ads all over the ####ing place constantly and we don’t need gambling ads shoved down ur throat ad nausem. And lastly and most importantly, we don’t need absolutely everything that the NHL does be solely and exclusively for money and hopefully they can actually divert just 1% of their attention and time and care to actually making the game good. Better reffing, not managing outcomes for maximum entertainment and more money.

So when I see this all I think is damn, that sucks.
