NHL Rumors: There Are Some Teams That Could Take Advantage Of A Flat 2020-21 Salary Cap

Luke Fox of Sportsnet: The NHL is not really interested in reducing the salary cap from next season from the $81.5 million that it is this season. There could be a few years of a flat NHL salary cap.

“There’s no question this is going to affect the cap for next year, and it may even affect it a little bit after that,” Neely said Thursday. “Maybe a flat cap for a year or two.”

Teams might be given the opportunity of using a compliance buyout to help alleviate some cap concerns.
