Yea the cap rise, but it doesn't just go to Muzzin or few players. All unsigned players will want a bigger piece. In the two years of Vegas, which affects the cap, the cap has risen 6.5m. So unless the NHL can miraculously find a new revenue stream (maybe gambling), it's a four percent raise a year. Heck the season is went up just about 3.25%
Im building my theory on previous Seasons and Expansion Draft 2017, as i said, just guessing didnt went into percentages :
2015/2016............71,4M.......+1,6M
2016/2017.............73M.........+2M
Expansion draft 2017
2017/2018.............75M.........4,5M
2018/2019............79,5M........+2M
2019/2020............81,5M..........+2,5M
2020/2021.............84M............+3M
Expansion Draft 2021
2021/2022.............87M............+6M
2022/2023.............93M
