The New York Rangers should be relegated reguardless
Yo do bring up some interesting points however. But as long as you have owners like Ted Leonsis and George Steinbrenner you need a salary cap to keep the small market teams alive. Yes it does water down the talent pool and yes there are games that are unwatchable, even on Monday Night sometimes, but without a salary cap you will have no NHL or at the very least will be watching the original 6 again and nothing else. It's a sport and a business, both sides need to realize that. Things are very different in America than England.
