In March of 2023, the Boston Bruins locked up superstar David Pastrnak to an eight-year, $90 million contract with an AAV of $11.25 million. At the time of that deal, a lot of people thought that it was going to be a bad deal before it expired in 2031.
That deal may not look too bad after it was announced that the NHL salary cap is going to go up in the coming years. With the cap going up, you can bet that there are going to be some insane contracts coming to some of the league's top players.
