Some in the NHL world are dealing with some stress as we try and figure out how to start the hockey season once the COVID-19 pandemic finally ends. We’re not close to playing games any time soon, but it’s never too early to prepare. Speaking of preparing, NHL teams are now being prepared to play next season either on the current salary cap, or possibly one that’s even lower than the $81.5 million it is now. This will hurt now, but it could actually help the New Jersey Devils.
If the current salary cap sticks, the Devils will have $25 million to spend this offseason.
