RWJC Posted Wednesday at 03:20 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:20 AM (edited) Evening Notes: Salary Cap, CBA, Suter October 1st, 2024 at 8:58pm CST • By Josh Cybulski TSN’s Pierre LeBrun tweeted that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told the media that the early ballpark projections for the salary cap next season have pegged the number at $92.5MM. The $4.5MM increase would be sizable in comparison to previous summers but Bettman cautioned that the number was very preliminary. The NHL salary cap for this season is set at $88MM and with hockey-related revenues rising once again, it could lead to a significant salary cap increase when the NHL and NHLPA renegotiate the next collective bargaining agreement. Until that time the salary cap will likely keep climbing by a few million dollars each year, which should help some of the teams who have struggled with salary cap issues in recent years. In other evening notes: Bettman spoke about those upcoming collective bargaining agreement talks telling the media that the NHL plans to begin those conversations with the NHLPA in the new year (as per Pierre LeBrun of TSN). One of the items on the docket will be reducing the number of pre-season games to four and potentially adding two regular-season games to the schedule (as per LeBrun). The news isn’t overly surprising given the recent run of injuries during the pre-season, and the fact that fans appear to be largely disinterested in the preseason games this week. Vancouver Canucks forward Pius Suter was injured in last night’s preseason game and is being evaluated by the team’s medical staff (as per Canucks play-by-play voice Brendan Batchelor). Suter was banged up in a scrum with Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry after Perry dropped his gloves following a hit on teammate Connor McDavid. Suter tried to avoid the confrontation, which didn’t look all that physical but caused some discomfort for the 28-year-old. Suter is entering the final season of a two-year $3.2MM contract that he signed last summer and is expected to center the Canucks fourth line this season. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/10/evening-notes-salary-cap-cba-suter.html#ref=home Edited Wednesday at 04:00 AM by RWJC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we sat a lot of guys out, It's been some bad luck going around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted Wednesday at 03:53 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:53 AM We would practically break even with the 5.5m of dead money we have for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poolmans 2.5 mil comes off the books which would cover the increase in OEL’s cap penalty. We would have about 4-5 mil to re-sign Boeser and Hoglander. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the OEL buyout spike to 4.5 next year for 2 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but we already have 2.35 counting against the cap this season, so the increase is only like 2.4 mil. Still dead cap yes, but the amount it goes up will be offset by the Poolman contract coming off. Basically we’d still have that extra cap to spend on re-signing our players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted Wednesday at 04:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:54 PM The huge cap increase is probably from pressure from the Oilers so they can keep their high paid players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just hilarious that Nurse makes 9.25mil and is 10% of the cap. They are in their window of contention and have a contract like that.

With OELs buyout kicking in we are technically losing 4.5mil in cap space but it’s more like 2mil in a sense because we have already been dealing with Poolmans LTIR.
