Nik V. Debs said:Well, I'm disappointed as a Leafs fan that this is another CBA that acts as a disincentive for a fanbase to contribute to the on-ice strength of their favourite team but looking at it removed from the perspective of a Leafs fan I think it all went fairly well. The players got a better deal(they'll probably earn 51 or 52 percent of HRR over the course of the deal) and re-established themselves as a legitimate union with purpose and solidarity by virtue of waiting while the owners got, well, more money.

On that note, why did the league and players bother negotiating about the dollar limit on the cap? That just redistributes money in different ways amongst players.
