We are not talking a few mediocre NBA players or MLB players making more than McDavid! Over a hundred in each league. According to Forbes, the Leafs team is worth about $2.8B. That would put them tied for 8th place with the Atlanta Braves in MLB. George Springer makes almost twice as much as McDavid. (Jays are worth $2.1B)
Meanwhile back at Gary's bullpoop salary cap league Alex Meruelo just pocketed $1B for selling the Coyotes (he paid $425M). He mooched off the NHL and other teams for years and walked away with a super lottery win. And that's why the NHL should have an $87M cap? Frankly, wouldn't that half billion look better in the hands of the players than that slimy douchebag?

Ya for sure, pay the players. Heck 20 years ago, kariya was making 11 or so million....now top players are only making a million or so more.
But we have a cap and we're stuck stuck with for a while.
Glad i skipped the game. Yeesh.
