One way a NHL team can spend over the cap is LTIR or long term injured reserve. Not to go into specifics, but basically contracts of guys on IR don't really count against the cap. Then those players can be activated come playoff time at no penalty. See the Tampa Bay Lightening and Nikita Kucherov as an example of it. Great video!
I'll check this out. The NBA has something similar. It's called an injured player exception. I think it works the same way, but it has to be approved by the league. Also thanks!
I feel like I basically same a similar thing every time, but you make cool/fun videos all the time, so I'll say it again. Good stuff man, you have shown stuff that helps make me interested in things I was clueless about. Always look forward to your vids.
I appreciate it every time! Also so does the algorithm, so we all win. It's fun doing research on a subject and presenting it in a way that's interesting. Feels like I'm at college again, but I don't have to cite my sources.
Great video, was interesting to hear, I was surprised NHL was that much higher than MLS. Even with MLS still gaining popularity I wouldn't think NHL makes 8 times more revenue.
I am pro-(soft)salary cap so long as it forces rich teams to only pay certain players fat bags per team and pay role players/squad fillers more and give them more playing time spreading the talent much more across the league and get players who wouldn't normally pay and play that much, a lot more money and game time and make it more competitive but there also be unforseen consequences but that's why I would pro-cap
I agree there's a reason there's a salary cap. Based on the fact that the league is hard set on 30 teams they need them all to be able to compete with each other. I think the real brilliance in the nba soft salary cap are the exceptions. Making payroll management into a skill rather than a cheat code to eliminate competition.
The NFL franchise tag should be illegal. You can’t just hold a player hostage especially when their contract is up. I like the MLB because teams (outside of the A’s) actually spend money and try to win.
I thought about it. I read a little bit about it when researching the franchise tag. It's hard to know what is too esoteric. If I make more on the NFL I'll include it

Crazy that the A’s make 40 mil a year being a bad team. Great video
I know. I thought someone would correct me like I read it wrong, but nah. They're really skimming 40m
Love your videos very informative and entertaining
Thanks for the encouragement, man. God bless
MLS is growing hella in the last 3-8 years. Can you make a video on their growth?
for sure. If I can find some good information on it.

I know. I go to LAFC games and they aren't cheap and they are always packed. Very surprising
@@whatslaps I always think attendance at a sporting KC game is good too, it must come down to less Television traffic and Ad/Partnerships.
I cant stop binge watching these vids, entertaining to learn
Sweet! Glad you're enjoying them! There are tons!

Awesome job
Much appreciated again 🤠

Yeah, it's a toxic mechanism imo (franchise tag). You're right about baseball. A lot more money is going to the players now than the owners.
Messi in MLS 3:30
for sure
@whatslaps thanks bro for the reply
Unless you're making a separate video, you should've gone into cap hits and bonus/guaranteed money in the nfl

Nice haircut
thanks 💁♀️
Easy answer: yes.
I want to do another video on this comparing all the salary caps
