Duhatschek was discussing the Kessel contract on the FAN960. He said internal whispers among NHL managers say the cap could go up to $72M next season, and maybe $80M in 2 or 3 years. That is why teams are locking in dollars and long terms now.
A crazy number today will look cheap with an $80M cap. The $8M player will become a $10-11M player.
