With the annual general manager meetings taking place in Boca Raton, Fla., many important points of discussion are being addressed, and all obviously will have a direct impact on the Washington Capitals.
One of the more critical points in the GM discussions is the expectations of the cap ceiling next year.
According to Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston, the salary cap is expected to fall somewhere between $75.5 million and $76 million. That is, unless, the players opt to utilize their five percent inflator clause.
Bill Daly says the NHL's salary cap is projected to be $75.
