32 Thoughts: How record revenues in NHL could impact salary cap, next CBA

When it comes to future salary ceilings in the NHL, we might be getting some clarity beyond 2025-26. Elliotte Friedman has that, fallout from the McDavid suspension, J.T. Miller updates and more on this week's 32 Thoughts blog.

The Canes were a runner up for Eichel, Tkachuk, Meier and Karlsson. They took a run at Pettersson. Do the stars finally align on a big move?

Only if they decide to pay enough. Each time it sounds like they say no to top prospects and certain picks.

They got Guentzel but didn't want to give him the contract (or Guentzel just left) unsure on the official.

Little pricey there bud. That’s two of our best three prospects and a first, which is a price nobody really pays for anybody. Realistic would be maybe one of those things with lesser things attached.

Eh now buddy hoser, I'm bout ta say some thing here and I'm like totally sorry ahead of time eh. Vancouver fan here. I'd trade Huggy Bear if it meant a better chance at winning the cup. Now course that makes no sense for us, but what I'm trying to say is a CUP is worth more than all the prospects in the system. Never had one in Van, want one and if it was "our year to take a really good shot" which I rightly admitt seeing the Cains play this year.. I'd be trading my Mother to win.

Long way of saying who cares go for it... not like your team would suck the next year. You'd have a few years to win it so I say the price is fair.

G'day eh

They got Guentzel as a rental last year.

But it depends on if they're actually going to be willing to pay, they haven't in the past.

They did eventually agree to his ask of 8x8 but by then it was close to free agency and (depending on your thoughts on tampering) he already knew he'd get an 9x7 offer from Tampa and took that one.

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know. CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION?

Who’s on first?

I bet the Penguins would have interest in Jack Drury if there's something on the Pens roster that interests the Canes.
