maybe the NHL should not have been holding it back so much all these years then

You’ll have to explain what was held back, since they just follow the rules in the CBA and MOU.

Seems ridiculous to have the cap go up that much that quickly. Didn't the NBA do that and it caused problems?
You'd think they'd want to keep it lower and eliminate the possibility of escrow.

I just read that it went up 24 procent one year and it caused a lot of problem, so they made it into maximum 10 procent over 1 year.

Well they usually aydont, but if you think of NHL situation in US that hasnt always been the case.
I was referring to the talk about how awful the deal has been to Rogers according to countless posts
i have read over the years, all based on, as far as i have seen opions, no data.
So this new deal, will tell if the old one was awful ok or good.

Well it was obviously bad, with the layoffs they had, then selling off games to recoup some money. There is enough articles out there talking about it, if you care to read them.

If you’re expecting Roger’s to come out and actually say, we made a terrible deal, and got shafted and overpaid on the deal. You’ll be waiting a long time then, especially while in current negotiations for a new deal.

Give me some links and i read. I havent found them and ive read quite a few on the subject

This what i found on Rogers profit, it seems to have gone down, they are still making good profit though, and the downside can hardly be coupled with NHL only, but the profit has gone down, i am not capably or have enough insight to why though. But we will find out.

I don't know if it was a problem, but it was the main thing that allowed Durant to go to Golden State.
