He gave Hockey the principals and guidelines for average league salaries When he made his ruling on this issue in 1995, the NHL now follows these rules, and are the bases of NHL cap system, you could almost say he gave the NHL the cap era. He is mentioned in th NHL CBA in the definition section under Average league salaries Edited February 1, 2020 by Arrow 1983 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
