Terrific...NHL still has 79.5 million to sign 23 players while the GHL has 82 million to sign 45 players. Let me make this perfectly clear so maybe, just maybe you guys will understand this.

The NHL has the ability to average just over 3.45 million per player. In the GHL, we can average 1.82 million per player.

Yes, of course I realize that we're going to average a little more than that because we're going to spend as much as possible on our big roster but if we try to build a team through the draft, our minor league cap will still be pretty high. Mine for example is currently at just over 17 million. That leaves me 65 million for my pro players...or an average of 2.82 per player which is a pretty big difference in comparison. It's .63 million per player or of course, 17 million plus for their entire team. With 17 million in extra cap, it's pretty easy to understand why the NHL players make more than their GHL counterparts on average.
