I should qualify my previous statement, to avoid sounding like I'm critical of the player, his skills, or anything. If there were no cap system, I would be 100% supportive of the player. There's a difference between actual value, and what's a fair salary under that rigid cap system.
That's why the league, GMs and NHLPA should perhaps impose that all contract negotiations be discussed in percentage of the cap, so that everyone realizes it's a zero-sum game.
