NHL Rumors: Chicago Blackhawks – Limited Cap Space, Buyout Candidates, and Kubalik Comparables

Ben Pope of Chicago Sun-Times: There is now some uncertainty of what next seasons salary cap ceiling could be. Earlier this month had projections between $84 million and $88.2 million, but now it could stay stagnant at $81.5 or possibly be lower.

The Chicago Blackhawks won’t have a lot of salary cap space to work with if the cap stays the same or is lower. If it remains at $81.5 million, the Blackhawks would have about $8 million in projected space. They have pending free agents in Corey Crawford, Dylan Strome, Dominik Kubalik and Drake Caggiula.
