After nearly three years of the salary cap system in the National Hockey League, nobody can come up with a way to fix it. The General Managers are catching a lot of flack from the teams and the players. They are thinking after three years of frozen salaries, they may be able to start paying the players again until they hit another cap. Some say you should give the raises to the top players in the league. There are no two situations alike though, and all the players will find some illegal loop hole for them to get a raise too. This is why the General Managers must keep the players unaware of what is going on with some of the top players. Sometimes it can be a ten percent all the way up to a thirty percent pay cap. Whoever owned the teams had to step in and try to straighten it all out. They didn’t want players leaving because of financial reasons.

Most of the players believe there will be a strike during the season. Owners weren’t listening to the teams and trying to force different policies that weren’t good for the team or the players. Money has become a ruling chip in this arena and it is hard for some of the newer players to keep up with the times. It is a sad world that causes the managers to do these types of lowdown tactics. But they do work sometimes, especially if you are looking for another person in another train car.
