There has been a lot of talk about the NHL’s revenues since last season was cut short in March, and while it’s not anyone’s favourite topic, it does play an important role in the success of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Like every team in the league, the Maple Leafs have to keep working with their roster under the constraints of the salary cap. It’s not fair that the Leafs must be punished for being good at what they do while others continue to fail (a luxury tax would have been a better solution, but Jeremy Jacobs heard the word ‘tax’ and nearly threw Gary Bettman out the window).
