Mentioned at 39:20 in the episode

NHL player agent Allan Walsh says with confidence the salary cap for the 2025/2026 season will be $97 million.

This would be a $9,000,000 increase from the current $88,000,000 cap, and an approximate 10% jump compared to the 5% we have been expecting. Overall it would inject a potential extra $288,000,000 across the league to be spent comparing this season to next.

Could be a wild free agency upcoming if this proves factual

He said UPPER LIMIT. This means that it will be no higher than $97M. It could still be lower even if he is 100% correct.

Upper limit in this context refers to the cap ceiling. It is worded as such because not every team will spend to the upper limit and operate at the ceiling.
