Yeah but how many nhl players will make anywhere near what they were getting in the nhl?
As for the Caps...
Baseball isn't a cap, they have a luxury tax over a certain amount.
Now basketball actually had a hard cap like football, but they have "exceptions" which the big one is, you can go over the cap to resign you own player, and then there are rules about if you lose a player you can use their "slot" for someone else. That being said, when your over the cap by a certain amount, there's a luxury tax, but thats after the cap.
