Let alone something worth quitting the franchise over but each to their own.
Also, it's important to remember that whilst something might appear to be 'one or two lines of code' from the outside - a piece of software like FHM has many many moving parts when it comes to finances, so whilst something might seem simple it's important to consider the deeper implications of changing something like that and being cautious of further bugs or issues arising down the line - which is not so simple a process to solve.

Just as a point of clarity here; the reason why it was left flat was because most people seem to think that NHL salaries would become almost NBA-like with the constant increasing cap. They expected top players to want a large amount of money, but bottom tier players to stay at league minimums...but that's just not the case. The rising cap causes the rising tide theory - all salaries go up (which is what the NHLPA bargained to have happen when the cap did come in) so when you have 5/6th D and bottom 6 forwards making 5-7 million dollars, people got confused by that.
