Your logic has always eluded the PA. Their thought process is that if the cap causes more issues, the cap should go up.

This is an awesome and viscerally disturbing visual all in one. Horrible.

Edmonton is a ####hole. I have to go there regularly for materials. If time was free I would go anywhere else.

I haven’t been to Edmonton since like 2013. It’s like Chelyabinsk in 1955. Run down, Soviet era ####hole

If the top paid players take discounts, everyone is getting a good share, and teams are all in great salary cap situations, it diminishes urgency to raise the salary cap. Teams up against or over the salary cap is music to the PA's ears. Also these player unions are always focused solely on the top players making as much as possible. Look at what's going on in the NFL right now where QB's are making obscene money and running backs who touch the ball more than any other player outside of the QB are devalued to the point that only punters, long snappers, and fullbacks make less. It's totally unfair but that's part of the business with these player unions where anything considered "team friendly" is frowned on.

Staples being both rational and delusional in the same article. He acknowledges the Wonder Twins want and deserve to get paid, but feels Bowman’s experience can negotiate a Stanley Cup discount. Good luck with that. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/h...ago-blackhawks

We can't even be sure either player is in love with the optics of the Bowman hire, let alone their desire to take any discount proposed by the guy.

Okay...you get a 'Thanks' for a genuine laugh!
You're right though. Baffling Soviet Era Architecture.

Kane and Toews took discounts. Took up 21 million in cap space they had to give away all the depth they had that helped them win.
They are delusional if they think these guys are taking discounts.

Well that’s a shame because they don’t qualify for a SC “discount”
