After projecting a decent raise in the NHL Salary Cap for the 2016-17 season, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly has softened his stance on a deal that once projected a $74 million dollar salary cap for the Vancouver Canucks.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the NHL salary cap could fall below the $70 million dollar mark.
The players were told this week when they met with the NHLPA that if they don’t vote to increase the salary cap by five per cent, there’s a chance it could go down below $70 million next year.
