Just saw that the new Sportsnet deal will give each NHL team $14.5Mn annually. Don't know how it will translate to the salary cap, but as many have said, it will increase substantially starting next year.
Expiring deals: TSN $40m + CBC $100m = $140m
First year pay out: $300m
Increase: $160m
Avg Increase revenue per team: $160m/30 = $5.33m
Increase on salary cap per team: $5.33m*50% = $2.67m
By the way, that the real # revenue of this deal apparently goes up every year means that the Cap increases are pretty likely to continue.
First year it will affect the cap is 15-16. NBC deal affects 14-15 cap.
