Unmitigated successes for the league - beyond what they could have ever imagined.
Hockey related revenue can’t help but increase dramatically, and with that, the cap.

Agreed that success in these markets means revenue is up, but I think you have to factor in that these two teams also increase the denominator used to calculate the salary cap per team. Could be wrong, but I think it would only be a net addition if the two new teams were above the midline as far as revenue (which is likely true, given their success).
