2025-26: $92.5 million
2024-25: $87.5 million
2025-26: $92.5 million
Positive Impact on Teams
This increase will help many contending teams stay contenders. We saw Boston have to trade Taylor Hall away for essentially nothing due to cap constraints earlier this offseason and the Islanders paid a 2nd round pick to get Josh Bailey off their books.
This cap raise will allow teams to keep their players and will not have to lose out on future assets to get some off the books. This also will help cap-strapped teams sign their star players who will be commanding raises.
