It's a much healthier league that's bringing in more money than before.
NHL Revenue:
2005-06 1.8B
2010-11 2.9B
Plus, under the CBA, players get 57% of league revenue, and any excess goes into escrow. So who cares what the salary numbers are? And with the cap, you don't get 3-4 teams spending to buy a cup. Instead, you have to earn it by managing your team properly. Great job NHL.
