Captain Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 9313 Location: United States	#11 Posted: 4/30/2012 4:17:10 PM This is data from 1995-2008. I am sure if it was updated with data from 2009-2011 it would hold pretty consistent. Since, I think 162 games is a better barometer of trends I have chosen to look at playoff teams to see the impact of payroll dollars. Here are some interesting stats. There have been 112 playoff teams since 1995. The average payroll ranking of a playoff team is 9.88 The top payroll team has made the playoffs 79% of the time. The top 5 payroll teams (or roughly 17% of of the league) have accounted for 31% of the 112 playoff teams The top 10 payroll teams have accounted for 60% of the 112 playoff teams The top 15 payroll teams have accounted for 78% of the 112 playoff teams Conversely, The bottom 10 payroll teams (or roughly 1/3) have accounted for 12% of the 112 playoff teams. The bottom 5 payroll teams have accounted for 8% of the 112 playoff teams. What I am saying for 2009 is: 50% of the playoff teams were from the top 7 teams in payroll. 62.5% of the playoff teams came from the top 10 payroll teams. 87.5% of the payroll teams (7 of 8) came from the top 18 payrolled teams. 12.5% or one team came from the bottom 12 payrolled teams. I think you can see that the majority of playoff teams come from top 10 in payroll. Another way to look at this is that of the top 9 payroll teams 50% made the playoffs. Of the bottom 21 teams 14% made the playoffs. That trend is pretty consistent with the past 15 years.

WHY?!?!? What is it about the salary cap in the NHL that doesn't level the playing field as much as the NFL? It can't be that there just isn't as much depth in the athletic pool, and that you must buy the elite players to have a good team, there are plenty of good young hockey players out there... so WHY? WHY!?!
