Chicago Blackhawks: NHL Salary Cap Could Increase To $76 Million

With the Chicago Blackhawks returning to action tonight, all eyes are focused on the ice. The team will have Johnny Oduya return for the first time since 2014-15.

My focus is always two-fold, one eye on the present and one on the future. My eye on the future blinked and had to do a double take after reading the following tweet from Chris Johnston of SportsNet.

Bill Daly says the NHL’s salary cap is projected to be $75.5M-$76M next season, but adds it will depend on inflator negotiations with NHLPA.
