GMs have certainly painted themselves into corners at this point in time

We saw before last off season that the NHL gave guidance of projected increase, and it was to be ~83.5 this year, 87.5-88 next year, then 92 the following year. I was wondering how reliable that is, as it was just guidance

What is the expected reasoning for a projected cap increase in the coming years? I was wondering if there is a new HRR source. If I understand correctly, there is no change to the TV deals as they are in place - Rogers 12 year deal wraps up in 2025, and both ESPN (Disney) and Turner deals are through 2027-8. So that can’t be it. Is it a result of the bump from 7 year TV deals being offset by decrease in revenue due to Covid, and a return to normal? I’m assuming that’s most likely the case

So hopefully it can be relied on. Hopefully this is the low point in terms of stagnant off seasons

One thing for sure, locally. Treliving allocated a good chunk of Calgary’s cap and left his successor holding the bag so I didn’t expect a lot to happen this off season
