"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," he said. "Not yet decided, but that's potentially what they've been told." - freidman

Next year as in this upcoming season, I assume?


If they don't choose the inflator, this league will be a shit show for a few weeks as teams scramble to cut cap.

I hope that happens, the Chaos would be amazingly entertaining. In BBKL too! But I have to assume the player's use that option again. They've only not used it once.

Oooh, a team in my home state now. Newest Black Knights fan right here! At least there isn't a history of choking... yet.

[thom54]

[Shoalzie]

Wouldn't the draft happen next year?

[Shoalzie]

I'd imagine we'll follow suit...is something similar.

[The BBKL Insider]

Wouldn't the draft happen next year?

ya, you can't do an expansion draft without a team. I'd assume they meant next season before the draft.

[Shoalzie]

Right, the teams won't exist until next year. Any word if it'll be one or two new teams?

I'm going to guess just 1, it really doesn't sound like Bettman wants another team in Quebec.
