Just another example of "up against it".
Seriously thinking the floor should be raised.
If that eventually causes a couple of relocations, so be it..

Why should the floor be raised? Calgary is up against the ceiling.....how does raising the floor help these kind of situations?

If other teams must spend more, they will want to spend it on good players to fill their arenas and bolster their corporate sponsorship.
It could make them more desirable locations for players to seek employment, even star players.
The way it is now, players, via their agents, are asking for as much as they can squeeze out of franchises willing to spend to the max.
IMO, this is not the best.

What about cap sharing or trading amongst NHL franchises? I am kidding.

Edit; I think the PA added to the situation of weak franchises for "insisting" on MTCs (Basically, teams they wont accept a trade to).
Not a union basher but that clause could eventually be destructive to everyone.

Stone might have to take a lot of time off, as his blood clots are pretty bad.

I see 0 reasons to acquire Michael Stone. What am I missing? He's big?

Mick its time to let go of stretcher now. He served his purpose of contributing to a higher draft seed.

The big kids get to use the swings now
