timberz21 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's funny that every CBA negociations, the NHL pulls out arguments that the NHL is poor, franchises are struggling, bla bla bla....yet every year the salary cap (meaning revenues) goes up consistently (average of 3.1 and standard deviation of 2.8) since the start in 05-06. Having a hard time believing that the NHL revenues have been so consistent the past 14 years...I'm thinking that a lot of creative accounting is going on behind closed doors.

Warhippy Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Players got hosed. Free agency this year will be insane with a guy like Carlson possibly getting $7 million or more. There WILL be a lockout and hopefully they'll allow for another round of compliance buyouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more accurately, the players at the lower end of the wage scales have been paying for it. The star players are like the CEO's of companies whereby their salaries rise at a much faster rate than the rank and file.

Minimum wage, on the other hand, has increased only 44% during that span (an average of 3.4% per year), half of their top earner counterparts. Thus, while maximum salary has been tied to the spectacular increase in team salary cap, minimum salary has not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, while maximum salary has been tied to the spectacular increase in team salary cap, minimum salary has not. It's odd how the NHL maximum and minimum rise at such vastly different rates. In a lot of years the maximum rises at a larger percentage than the minimum, but then in other years, 2016-17 to 2017-18 for instance, the minimum rose 13% while the max only rose 2%. It doesn't really make much sense. In any case your point still stands, over that time period the max salary has risen at a much higher rate than the minimum.

Kaner Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The last thing that needs to happen for this franchise. Canucks management needs to lock their phones in a box on July 1st. More lacklustre players like Eriksson, Gagner, and Del Zotto, are not what the Canucks need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how they calculate the league minimum, but it's likely a negotiated number. I'd be interested in what the cap "floor" is in each of the years shown above.

Sit back and wait to see what offers come our way. Teams are always looking for creative ways to become cap compliant or shed dead weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
