Let's do some math. We will assume the new cap number to be $37million.
Let's say the minimum ends up being $400K (it will probably be higher) and that each team has 25 players under contract. That means $10mil of the cap is already chewed up leaving $27 mil to spread out among the 25 players. That's just over $1mil per player. Now, let's say that a team has 2 $5mil players. You can take another $9 mil off of that leaving $18 mil to spread over 23 players...Any team with two players making more than $5mil is going to have a lot of bargain basement players on it!! Got to love it! The players really are taking a huge rollback. Players like Bobby Holik will be lucky to get $3mil!!
