In the NHL, the upper limit of the salary cap is 57 millions and the lower limit is 41 millions. This year 13 teams exceed the salary cap as Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals and Calgary Flames. This difference is not fair for many teams, Columbus Blues Jackets has a cap payroll of 43 millions and Chicago Blackhawks has 61 millions of cap payroll. So this is very difficult to compete with a team like Chicago because they have more than 18 millions of player salary in their team that Columbus. This is a big difference when we know that a star player have a salary of 6 to 8 millions by season. The difference of 18 millions is about 3 good players in a bad team.
