As it becomes more and more likely that the NHL’s salary cap will remain flat at $81.5 million, players hitting free agency are not going to be happy. For the Rangers, that means the initial contract projections for Tony DeAngelo and Ryan Strome will likely come down. The question is how much.
Again our friends at Evolving Hockey have their salary cap models, which are some of the best out there. They are rarely wrong, and when they are it’s because they missed on the term, not the dollars.
