This won't solve the problem. Even if the league change the cap structure so every team will have equal after-tax dollars to spend on salaries, all the players still want to go to sexy locations such as NY and California.

It is down to the media pressure and the general appeal of Canadian cities vs sunny destinations in Florida and big cities like LA.

Having well-run teams like the Lightning won't hurt either
