it's always 16m below the cap, I believe. This year is an exception - they increased the cap from 60.3 (pro-rated last year) to 64.3, but kept the 44.3 floor.
EDIT: I looked it up and actually, the floor is not 16m below the cap, but must be between 16m and 28m below the cap. They will determine a "midpoint" and the cap will be 15 percent above that point, while the floor will be 15 percent below.

As of 2014-15, the formula for calculating the cap and floor will be the same as in the previous collective agreement:
- After estimating NHL revenue for the coming season, the league calculates the "midpoint" of the projected salary range.
- The salary cap is set at 15 percent above the midpoint. The salary floor is 15 percent below the midpoint.
- The range between salary cap and floor cannot fall below $16 million or rise above $28 million.
