I for one do not care at all what they pay players above the DP threshold. Dietrich Mateschitz has $25 billion. It has no impact on the cap and it is chump change to Red Bull and its ownership. Further, its not like Red Bull has been close to having a problem fit under the cap for a long time. In fact, if RBNY ever had a problem with the cap, I would be very happy.
This sentiment gets parroted constantly on these forums, but it's far removed from reality. There is no giant piggy bank because our owner is a billionaire. None. If anything, the opposite is true - we have a strict (and limited) budget, and are expected to eventually become self sufficient via developing and selling players.
