Cap is only going up $1MM this year right?

Question why so low with the revenues now (including the amount the players owe) isnt there room for a fairly sizeable increase?

NHL and PA have an agreement in place to not raise the cap until the Escrow account the players owe the owners is repaid in full.

Most projections have it falling just short of that this season. Close enough that some believe both sides will put pressure on Bettman to let it go and let the cap escalate.

You have to wonder when the NHL realizes that a cap that escalates this slowly is damaging their product.

Bettman did say recently there is a chance they do have it paid off after this year. Just have to wait and see
 
Apparently Pittsburgh offered draft picks for JT Miller but the Canucks rejected it and said they wanted a centre

Carolina has a slightly used Kotkaniemi that they could include. Hes a former high draft pick with an inflated salary. Vancouver would be salivating.
