What was the point of the lockout?


Salary cap will again go up:

Good for the Canadiens

But I'm wondering if the League is doing itself any favors. According to the story, revenues continue to rise despite two franchises in dire straits. (Insert Phoenix Money for Nothing joke here)

With a cap of up to $63.5M next year, how are teams like the Avs supposed to round up enough two-way contracts to make it to the cap floor?

I guess I'm also wondering if the league is already starting to break into haves and have nots simply because most teams can't commit the resources to stay at or near the cap. Have the gains of the lockout for small-market teams already been wiped away?
