One unforeseen benefit of the rising cap for the Canucks could be better players available on waivers
The NHL’s salary cap was at least in part an attempt to promote league parity. Sure, it was probably always about controlling expenditures as much as anything, but the parity angle was a part of it. And, for a while there, the league did achieve a greater level of evenness. The recent surge in…
