Cap Price Set

$50.3 million.

Remember when it was just $39 million two seasons ago?

This $6.3 million increase is larger than last year's $5 million increase but doesn't look to be the "max cap" Larry Brooks was calling for.

Of course, the higher the cap, the more wiggle room teams have to sign their players (this year at least) and the higher NHL player salaries go.

So tell me again, why is this such a bad deal for the NHLPA?
