Confirmed with Link: NHL/NHLPA Cap Estimates Next 3 Seasons (95.5, 104, 113.5)

113.5? Hot dog.

I think odds of Price's contract moving next year goes up. As does a Gallagher buyout
Gally buyout, not sure, but Price moving to a team that needs to meet the floor, but not pay the actual $$$ because his contract is insured... yes
 
How does Hutson not ask for like 10M with these numbers
The way he’s played the last 6 games he isn’t worth 10m. He needs to get back on his horse.

A rough patch was to be expected, hopefully he can get back on track with some rest during the 4 nations break.
 
This is a very quick spitball so don't jump on me about the numbers. Just trying to get a rough idea! Somehow got us Nemec (lol) - but insert random 6 million RD in there.

Habs - 2027 - 2028 - 113.5

Caufield (7.75) - Suzuki (7.875) - Slaf (7.6) = 23.25m
Laine (8) - Dach (6) - Demidov (950K) = 14.95m
Heinemen (4.5) - Hage (950K) - Kapanen (2.25) = 7.7m
Tuch (2.2) - Beck (3) - Xhekaj (2.1) = 7.3m

Total for primary forward group = 53.2m

Hutson (10m) - Rein (5.55) = 15.55m
Guhle (5.55) - Nemec (6) = 11.55m
Xhekaj (3.75) - Carrier (4) = 7.75m

Total for primary d men - 33.85 m

Dobes - 6.5
Fowler - 950K

Total for two goalies = 7.45m

Total cap on primary team = 94.5 m

Need 3 more players for 23 man roster and we have 19 million still to spend.

Need cap flexibility when Demidov commands 10+ in 28/29

WE ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
 
This off season, or next the Habs need to use the money to land a top free agent to add further to the team.

Demidov if he plays as exceptional as people think he can you're looking at 13 mill+
 
I'll believe it when I see it.
Let's see how this delusional Moron affects trade and our respective economies first shall we.
The NHL does not live in it's own bubble.
 
And now negotiations just got that much more difficult for everyone with numbers published.

Depends on how many UFA years he gets in the Term.

That's another good question for the next CBA: Will they re-adjust minimum salary and the size of the ELCs to match the increases proportionally?


Holy unholiness! The floor is going match the current cap, almost... Say goodbye to some low ass markets like Columbus and Buffalo.

Does the NHL have any revenue sharing anymore? Or was that terminated years ago?

Flawed post by FS. The Habs and Sens are in two completely different boats. Can't group all Canadian teams together.

They still do, but if the revenue shared is going all to reach the floor, then the owners get diminishing returns.

NHL GM's and Agents already knew this was coming. Did they know it would be this high? Probably not but they knew revenue and higher salary caps was coming last off season.

This is not really new news to GM's and agents. It confirms their projections and probably more than what they projected. They get way more detailed reports than us fans and way before us.
