FTB: Will the cap go up sooner than planned?

Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

We have some potential good news that is brought to us all by unsightly ads!

According to Gary Bettman, there's a good chance the players escrow balance will be paid off this season, meaning the salary cap could jump by up to $4 million this off-season.

If escrow balance is paid off this season, cap could jump $4 million for 2023-24. If not paid off, it will increase by $1 million.

The Maple Leafs already have about $4.
