Comparing old team salaries to the new cap doesn't work... you'd have to refactor each player's salary and add 'em all up. Only then could you begin to look at the cap and how they relate. I'm more worried about the Bolts players having been "out of the system" for so long as the primary reason they won't repeat... the money part shouldn't prove a problem.

After all, they are one of the few recent Cup winners that did so with a payroll that would fit under a salary cap. Meaning that, far from being a team that won't exist in the new system, Tampa Bay was the poster child for the ultimate squad under a cap.
