I Bring Good News....Leaf Related

Well, he NHL has decided to boost it's cap up to an astounding.....

52 MILLION!!

The Leafs have a ton of cap room, now if they can only find a way to get rid of a bad contract....they'll be fine.

Slap Shots has been told that the NHLPA is planning to exercise its right under the CBA to request that a full five-percent bump be built into next season's cap. If 2006-07 league revenues come it at $2.36B - Gary Bettman on Monday said he thought the number would be close to $2.4B - a five-percent bump would bring next season's upper limit to approximately $52M.

Well, that certainly is news. I thought it was MUCH lower, like low 40s.

I'm not entirely sure it's good news though. Every team has the same salary cap, and I have no faith that the Leafs' management can utilize their space better than, well, anyone else.

I don't mean to **** in your cereal, but the only way there can be good news about the Leafs is if it is specific to the Leafs. If it applies to the entire league (which this obviously does), then the Leafs are still faacked, with possibly the worst management in pro sports.
