Trying to figure out how (which teams receive) revenue sharing works. NHL clearly doesn’t want that info easily ‘ publicly available. But combined with salary cap, it’s a truly horrible system. Popular teams like Leafs (I acknowledge there are other popular teams like habs, bruins, rangers, etc) that generate significant revenue have to subsidize unpopular but competitive teams (only guessing but thinking panthers, hurricanes, preds). Would like to see a new role something to the effect of - if you receive revenue sharing, your upper salary cap is reduced by half that amount. Opposite if you contribute revenue - your upper salary cap increases by half the amount you contribute to sharing. I’m all for competitive balance but it is also a Really perverse system that leaf fans are helping panthers organization be more competitive, while hard cap limits ability of leaf organization to compete fully
