That has nothing to do with the salary cap.

Without the cap Canadian teams would still not be able to pay a player the same net with the same money. They would have to overpay which would probably make them less viable.

Does a higher NHL salary cap generally hurt Canadian teams

I can only assume you are joking/trolling so I won't respond other than to say

100% serious but I’m here to talk to people that would know anyway, so no need for us to talk further.

The two highest revenue teams last year in US dollars were Canadian. The Maple Leafs and the Canadians

Well that totally answered the question and wasn’t totally obvious. NEXT.

The biggest "poverty" franchise resides in the great state of Utah

I won't lie, I am going to bookmark this thread as it is one of my favorite of all-time

Isn’t $1M CAD equivalent to like $20 USD?

Canadian taxes hurt Canadian teams. Compared Quebec w/ FL.

Salary cap does negatively impact Canadian teams, however...

Yes it does, indirectly.

Again, having to overpay would hurt them worse in my opinion. It would literally cut into profits.

Directly, heavier federal corporate income taxes lower their after tax proceeds

TCuz

Canada, like the US does not tax on revenue and only on income which would be after salaries.

How much clearer do I need to make it that I have no interest in discussing this with you? Move on.

Oh come on, keep your original post up. Changed 3 separate times?

Right, but lots of Canadian revenue is in CAD

TCuz

Jan 31, 12:38pm

It is almost like you would be able to look up their revenue numbers to verify if that were the case....

Jan 31, 12:41pm

I don't think that's an issue. I'm pretty sure everything is ultimately measured

Little Mac

Thanks. So Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Calgary are all poverty franchises. Vancouver about average

TCuz

Jan 31, 12:49pm

You are beyond your depth here. Do you not know about the NHL's revenue sharing model?

It’s always been a struggle for Canadian teams to compete

But the Canadian teams have some advantages too.
