It would appear to the naked eye that the NBA brings in MUCH more revenue than the NHL does. Why are the salary caps so close in value?

Hockey is actually growing pretty fast. The salary cap immediately after the lock-out is now the cap minimum for next season.

So Avery's the only big one left we're still in on. I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed, even though we obviously didn't have very much money to spend. I expect this out of the Army era, but I kind of thought HullJack would get creative.

Get creative? They only have 3 million of cap space and Hicks already said not to spend up to the cap. So they only had $2 million to work with while people are throwing huge contract. Radden got $6 million for 6 years. Holy crap. I'm glad they gave up on him.
