Obviously the cap number is rising because the overall league or hockey related revenue, adjusted with or by whatever they do to factor it in to all markets, supports that, in theory, for all teams. But yes, all franchises, cities, revenue streams for franchise owners outside of HR and g&a structures aren't the same.
Such a big increase percentage wise too, is somewhat new, and takes some digesting for teams for their internal budgets, nothing to do with player salaries.
