Future Cap Issues

from Spector at Fox Sports,
Last fall in my Foxsports.com column I wrote about the NHL teams which could face potential salary cap problems if next season’s cap were to drop below the current level of $56.7 million.
As the recession deepens and concerns grow over its impact upon all professional sports leagues, I think it’s worth a quick revisit to determine which teams could find themselves strapped for cap space next season….
Boston Bruins: 14 players signed, $42,645,833.
Buffalo Sabres: 14 players signed, $41,188,690
Calgary Flames: 15 players signed, $42,649,167

But they still count against the cap for the team. Escrow just makes sure the players don’t get more than 56% or whatever of total league revenues; that’s why it is adjusted during the season as the economic picture changes. The salary cap value is set at the beginning of the year, and doesn’t change.

so basically, the players average salaries count the same no matter what…even if they get paid a lower sum, because of escrow.

maybe I’m wrong, but with the escrow payments and such, wouldn’t the salaries of currently signed players go down along with the cap?
