Islanders: NHL Salary Cap Expected To Stay At $81.5 Million For 2020-2021

With COVID-19, the NHL season has come to a complete halt. There is no guarantee that the sport returns, and we're left wondering if we will see a conclusion to the 2019-2020 New York Islanders season.

One of the biggest question marks, aside from if and when the season will resume, is the impact this suspension has on the salary cap for 2020-2021. According to Andy Strickland, the cap is going to remain the same at $81.5 million for next year.

Per CapFriendly, the cap was expected to jump up to $84 million next year leaving the Islanders with $12.
