The NHL’s salary-cap figures are in, not just for next season, but also the next three years. And they’re going to make quite an impact across the league.
Next season, the cap will jump 8.5 percent to $95.5 million, followed by an 8.9 percent increase in 2026-27 and an even bigger 9.1 percent increase in 2027-28.
As you can see below, those are incredibly dramatic year-over-year changes for this sport, especially considering the cap rose only 5 percent combined over the five seasons before this one.
. . .
So, this is good news for teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, right?
In some ways, for sure. In others, not as much.
