In case you missed it, Eric Francis noted on Twitter that Bill Daly has let NHL General Managers know that the projected NHL salary cap ceiling next season will be between $84 million and $88 million.
This represents at least a $3 million increase, and potentially $7 million in additional cap space. Taking the middle ground of $86 million, above the $85 million we’ve been using around here, the Rangers have a little more wiggle room. This may alter their plans.
Buyouts
Buyouts are the major talking point for next season. The Rangers already have a shade under $7.
