Decertification will lead to income disparity between classes of players at the NHL level that is far more similar to what exists in American society as a whole than how the league is currently set up. A huge majority of players in the NHL make artificially high salaries while a small but important minority of top players have their salaries massively depressed under the current CBA model.
