The NFL is decent because the cap is actually respectable. There's no way you can make a decent team for such a small cap number.
You live in PA, look at the Penguins...
They're going to be fine this year, because they have so many young players on cheap salaries. But when their contracts are up, the team is going to have to get blown up, and it's another half decade of misery.
The NHL might as well not sign jerseys anymore, because players won't remain anywhere for more than three or four years, as teams just can't afford to keep them. Besides, the old system wasn't bad. Calgary and Tampa Bay were way down on the payroll scales, but even their teams can't stay together.
