One and a half Darnell Nurse cap increase after next season
| Quote: |
Per @FriedgeHNIC the NHL salary cap is now estimated to jump from $104M this season to $113.5M in 2027-2028 to then $127.5M(!!!!) in 2028-2029 💸💸💸
A 14M single season jump would be the largest in the league history.

Most of that is earmarked for our next McDavid contract.

Great timing as McDavid will grab a lot of that and the rest goes to a top 6 forward and a goalie.

Drai and Bouch already look like insane bargains now.
2nd liners and 2nd pair D are going to be 10M+ already with this new cap news.

Bouchard is smart and will probably get $14M on his next deal. Draisaitl's agent must be livid about the 8 year deal now that he sees all these other crazy contracts. His deal expires when he is 37 and it's unlikely he'll be getting much of a raise at that point.
