NHL owners, get your checkbooks ready!
The NHL and NHLPA announced the salary cap for the next three seasons this morning, and there’s going to be significantly more room to spend.
The cap limits for the next three seasons will be:
- 2025-2026: $95.5 million
- 2026-2027: $104 milion
- 2027-2028: $113.5 million
The figure for next season represents a $7.5 million jump over the current upper limit of the salary cap, no small figure — that’s basically one middle-to-upper-end contract.
A release from the league did contain a slight caveat:
The projected Team Payroll Ranges for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons will be subject to potential minor adjustments (up or down).
