And still liable to lose money. We've gone from a situation where more than half the league was actually over the cap to one where more than half the league is significantly under it. The teams aren't spending less; the cap has gone up faster than their willingness or ability to spend. Which makes cap space a bad measure of pretty much anything at this point.

On top of this, if they build back up again and we have 2nd-line players as 'stars' (like we have now), how soon will apathy set in?

That's irrelevant to the question of whether there is any value in making the playoffs.

Of course it isn't. But pretending that there is no value at all in making the playoffs is silly.
