We have been living in a flat cap for the past few seasons and due to this, some teams have been having some troubles with signing/keeping players.
Next season, the salary cap is set at $82,500,000, but it could be raised by $1,000,000.
Unfortunately for just under half the league though, they will not be able to spend all the way to the cap as they have been hit with some penalties this season.
A lot of teams have players under contract that have "performance bonuses" and while teams might be under the salary cap with just the salary of these players, once the bonus kicks in, it puts them over the top of the salary cap and causes some issues for the following season.
Here are the teams that will face restrictions next season, and there is a significant amount of teams:
Boston Bruins
$4,500,000
Philadelphia Flyers
$1,187,500
Montreal Canadiens
$1,170,000
Edmonton Oilers
$850,000
Vancouver Canucks
$850,000
Colorado Avalanche
$637,500
New York Rangers
$610,891
Carolina Hurricanes
$450,000
New Jersey Devils
$422,500
Dallas Stars
$372,829
Florida Panthers
$212,500
Seattle Kraken
$129,910
San Jose Sharks
$25,000
St. Louis Blues
$20,000
Washington Capitals
$20,000
