Report: If lockout is lifted, no salary cap in 2011

As the legal wheels begin to churn in Minnesota, the first battle undoubtedly will be whether the league is forced via court order to end the lockout.
If that occurs, the league will have two options: (1) come up with rules that apply to all 32 teams; or (2) don’t.
From a legal perspective, the safest course of action would be to rely upon the 32 separate businesses to develop their own rules regarding player acquisition and retention. But the league most likely won’t be interested in a wild-west arrangement, especially since it would entail the disappearance of the franchise tags and restricted free agency in 2011 and, as of 2012, the draft.
