What could be the most important meetings of NHL executives since the lockout will take place today and tomorrow in Las Vegas. NHL GMs, Presidents, and owners are gathering to hammer out details of rule changes, expansion, and trades. Here's a quick look at what's on the agenda.
Salary Cap
The General Managers will meet with Bettman today and he will confirm the official salary cap for 2015-16. Bettman has already pinned it down to somewhere between $70 and $71 million. Where it winds up in that range will be critical for some teams' trade strategies.
