I’m not sure why you’d think that.
We have already seen salary cap increases of:
12.82%
14.32%
12.72%
.18%
4.58%
8.25%
-6.69%
7.17%
7.31%
3.48%
2.24%
2.74%
6%
2.52%
0%
0%
1.23%
1.21%
Capfriendly seems to have the NHL estimating a 4.79% increase for 24/25 and a 5.14% for 25/26 (although unsure where they have those estimates from, haven’t looked into it)
Especially with inflation being what it has been in recent years, 5% increases seem on the pretty realistic side of projections.
