Next season is 5% (give or take a couple tenths), almost assured of that. The MOU dictates that as a max without negotiation (read increase escrow). The HRR numbers for this past season dictate that it pretty certain. After that, it is all CBA related. Currently, the NHL is having some great news on HRR and in a growth period despite some headwinds. The RSN situation combined with next Canadian TV deal will likely dictate if we stay on this ~5% path or if it stagnates.I think it greatly depends on what happens with the cap, does it actually increase as expected or does it stall? We could start to see some big contracts that are predictive of the cap increasing
It seems the expectation now is that this will continue.
