AlaskaFlyerFan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl-salary-cap-75m-for-2017-18-season-1.781074 NHL salary cap $75M for 2017-18 season John Tavares , Mike Stobe/National Hockey League/Getty Images NEW YORK — The NHL salary cap has been set at $75 million for this season in a slight increase over last year. The league and NHL Players' Association announced the cap and the salary floor of $55.4 million in a joint statement Sunday. The figures are set by the league's hockey-related revenue. It's an increase of $2 million from the $73 million cap last season, as players elected to use their escalator clause to raise it. Even a slight increase can help several teams that are up against the cap, like the Chicago Blackhawks and Presidents' Trophy winning Washington Capitals. For budget teams, the floor increased just $1.4 million from $54 million. The expansion Vegas Golden Knights must spend at least to the salary floor in their first season.

FriendlyGuitarist Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I think 75M is a fair deal for all teams and the smaller market teams can still reach it. Anything above $75M I think is too much for the NHL and it would just turn back to the old days where only the rich teams could afford the super stars.

Trefilov22 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Makes sense. The expansion hoopla I think will be good for the league as well. Las Vegas can probably spend pretty close to the max this season and maybe even compete for a playoff spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
