With NHL free agency on the horizon, it’s believed the 2023-24 salary cap ceiling will be set at $83.5M – an indication the NHL and NHLPA won’t negotiate a higher increase than the $1M called for in their MOU.

    Agreed, hopefully it jumps next year. I’d imagine there’s more than a couple of teams hurting until that happens.

      It’s absolutely killed my teams (lightning) chance of going for that third cup with this core. We have been hemorrhaging players for 4 years now and I just don’t think we have the depth to fill the cracks anymore.

      Screwed by the lockout in 04, screwed by the cap in the '20s. Oh well we had a hell of a run.
