NHL GMs have officially been told by the league the salary cap is going up $1 million to $82.5 million for next season. @TSNHockey @TheAthletic— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) March 29, 2022
The NHL expected salary caps to be much higher by this point, but due to COVID and loss of revenues, the salary cap has had to remain pretty stagnant.
Although with the amount of revenue they seem to be bringing in with the new helmet ads and digital ads, hopefully we do not see this flap cap for much longer. Back in Dec 2021, it was announced that the NHL was tracking to make over $5 billion, which is ahead of where they were pre-pandemic.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says through their new sponsorships (helmet decals, digital ads, etc.) they've recovered upwards of $100M in revenue.— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) March 11, 2021
Gary Bettman says the #NHL is «tracking» to be over $5 billion in HRR revenue this season, which would put them ahead of where they were heading in 2019-20 before the pandemic.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) December 10, 2021
