Has the NHL released what the 2022/23 salary cap will be at?

I look at what the Oilers have committed for 22/23, and the player's they'll need to re-sign, and it looks to me like unless the salary cap is 90M they're screwed next summer.

Edit: I read it's projected at 82.5M

McDavid 12.500
Draisaitl 8.500
Hyman 5.500
Nugent-Hopkins 5.125
Kassian 3.200
Foegele 2.750
Ryan 1.250
Shore .850

Nurse 9.250
Keith 5.540
Barrie 4.500
Ceci 3.250
Bouchard .865
?

?
Smith 2.200

Retained .750 (Lucic)
Buyouts 3.42 (Sekera & Neal)

= 69.45M
= 13.05M Cap Space

You assume each of Puljujarvi & Yamamoto will get 4M. That leaves 5M for the Oilers to sign 6 depth players & a starting goaltender (unless they think 41 year old Smith is their starter?) - it's not possible.
