This makes the Rantanen move look silly

The optimism in the north american economy seems misguided with all that is going on now.

Well these are estimates. Whether they hit those levels after 25/26 is still in question.

Revenue would have to actually decrease between now and 2027 to not be able to meet those numbers and still be near 50% linkage. If you take the projected $6.6B for this season, the cap for next year would end up around $113m under the old calculation formula. Them only going to that number after 3 years is a conservative approach.

@mouser do you know what the current player benefits number is? I thought I saw it was $300m, but can't find where I saw that.

NHL projecting $6.6B this year. Subtract $300m from that number for the player benefits

$6.3B/2 = $3.15B
$3.15B/32 = $98.4375m salary midpoint
$98.4375+15% = $113.2m salary cap

I wonder if that means they're considering setting the cap 2 or 3 years out at a time as part of the CBA negotiations. Having that be the permanent way they do this.

Agreed.

And am I misrembering reality? I could've sworn that the NHL was incredibly concerned about the Canadian dollar just a couple months ago?
