I believe these are the numbers that paint the worst picture:

NHL Upper Limit ("cap"): $81.5M

Projected Cap Hit
Vegas Golden Knights: $91,869,239
Montreal Canadiens: $91,034,870
Tampa Bay Lightning: $90,578,282

Coincidence that 3 of the richest teams in the league have figured out a way to each spend $10M over the cap? Remember when that cap was fought for specifically to stop the richest teams from buying up all the players, making it difficult for small markets to compete?
