Watching the kids raise the cup in COL, it makes me wonder what could have been for the Sedins in 04/05 if the WCE had not lost a season.

@Pears I agree. Hell if we kept Adrian Aucoin and the 2nd rounder we traded for Cloutier and signed any mid tier goalie we'd have been better off.
@JM_ Yes that 'lost' season was bad one for us timing wise. It also robbed Steve Yzerman of a final season. All to get the cap in and 'parity' supporting this have not Bettman teams. -
@Gnarcore I think you've already forgotten that a lot of Canadian teams were among the "have-nots" before the cap era, and a lot of that had to do with the difference between the $CAD and $USD. Say what you will about the cap, but I firmly believe it has helped stabilize Canadian teams not called the Habs or Leafs.
Full disclosure: at the time of the lockout, I was initially against the idea of the cap but looking back now, I think it's been a good thing.
