14.32%
12.72%
.18%
4.58%
8.25%
-6.69%
7.17%
7.31%
3.48%
2.24%
2.74%

2.52%

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.
I could see it slowing a bit if the players want to stop paying into escrow. Next couple seasons will be big bumps though for sure.
