Cap freeze ended this year. It's the first year of an increase in a long time up to $88M and is projected to continue increasing into the mid $90Ms.
Agents take the average % of cap during the life of the contract as a barometer for negotiation. That's how they get to the AAV. It's not whether his 106 points were worth $14M last year.
NHL contracts in general will start to get higher and higher. the old $8M will be the new $10M etc.
