Someone tell me how to feel
Numbers from 2025-2026 for comparison:
Floor: $70.6M
Midpoint: $83M
Ceiling: $95.5M
Max Salary: $19.1M
Is there a new league min too?
Thia is why I’ll continue to watch from home
Maybe this will make the offseason a bit more interesting instead of everyone sitting on their hands.
Fuck off Bettman! Retire already so we can fix the fucked up playoffs.
Now was the time to fix the tax-free issue… wtf Bettman?
And teams will still be in a cap crunch
So the Sharks only have to pay Macklin Celebrini $20.8 AAV over the length of his next contract.
What a relief.
Good, now go figure out how you’re going to rig another draft.
4.9% Average Salary Cap increase since 2007, 8.9% up from last year. Anyone want to do the cost of tickets or channels?
|year|**salary cap (millions)**|**% increase**|
|:-|:-|:-|
|2006|39||
|2007|44|12.82%|
|2008|50.3|14.32%|
|2009|56.7|12.72%|
|2010|56.8|0.18%|
|2011|59.4|4.58%|
|2012|64.3|8.25%|
|2013|60|-6.69%|
|2014|64.3|7.17%|
|2015|69|7.31%|
|2016|71.4|3.48%|
|2017|73|2.24%|
|2018|75|2.74%|
|2019|79.5|6.00%|
|2020|81.5|2.52%|
|2021|81.5|0.00%|
|2022|81.5|0.00%|
|2023|82.5|1.23%|
|2024|83.5|1.21%|
|2025|88|5.39%|
|2026|95.5|8.52%|
|2027|104|8.90%|
So Celebrini’s contract will be $20.8m AAV, got it.
Is the midpoint relevant at all?
The Hurricanes will now go into next season with 14.23 million in cap space. 4 first round draft picks in the next three years. The only players the Hurricanes will really have to pay next year is Nikishin. Only other players who are consistently in the lineup are Jankowski and Freddie. Absolutely crazy when compared to Oilers who have 16 million, 1 pick in 2029 and half a team to sign.
Someone’s getting paid and it ain’t me.
Why is the floor so low ?
If the ceiling is 104m then the floor should be 100m
Excellent, this means the Avs should be able to comfortably pay Makar
abolish caps, drafts, and single entity institutional control over a sport
I never knew there was a maximum nhl salary
For context, this year is $95.5mil. That’s a 13% increase.
Olympic bump was real this year, I suppose.
Or potential Rivalry of the Heated variety.
There’s a great evolutionary story about how, over centuries, horses would grow longer teeth while grass would get more abrasive and sandy, to wear those teeth down. It’s like an arms race taken place over millennia.
The same scenario is playing out in Edmonton. As the cap goes up and Bowman fucks up, can his incompetence outpace the extra money in the cap??
Buying out a goalie, signing a healthy scratch for 8 years and trading a bad goalie in a cheap expiring deal for a bad goalie on an expensive deal with term are the lives he’ll need to continue to keep ahead of the cap rise!!
Damn… Tuch is gonna get paid!
Hell yeah!
Go Sabres!
Another healthy growth year. Imagine how much more the league would make if they’d stop making it so hard for fans to watch their product lol
Bettman really looks like if the « Count » was a person in this photo
has a salary cap ever lowered since its inception?
Oh so Cale Makar is gonna make MONEY money. Good to hear.
Does the NHL exist in a financial vacuum? Be interesting to see if these cap rises continue if the cost of living and current geopolitical situation continues.
