Yes of course.
But this year's cap is set artificially low and doesn't represent this year's expected revenues.
Remember that the cap would have been about $70m in 2012 if there hadn't been a lockout. There has been nothing to suggest that revenues have regressed since then. Hard to imagine that current revenues are lower than they were 2 years ago.
Then factor in that there will be 6 outdoor games this year and it is pretty easy to come to the conclusion that the cap has to go up quite a bit. North of $70m is my guess.
