it will be short lived when many teams wont spend to the cap

With Houston & Atlanta about to enter the fold, barring a North American economic depression fueled by AI, the cap ceiling will push upwards of $175M within 5 yrs… maybe dare I say it push towards $200M

NHL / Ice Hockey has entered its golden age… the game had never been more popular and played by as many kids across the US… albeit those of the socioeconomically privileged variety
