NHL is a gate driven league and this hiatus is no doubt hurting them more than it's hurting the the 3 leagues. Remember, the other 3 have sweetheart regional and national t.v. deals so While they are hurting currently as well, not nearly to the extent NHL is.

I do think there will be a lower cap next season.

NHL is gate driven league and they got gate numbers from 70/82 regular season games. Lets say those are 2/3 of whole revenue from season. The last 1/3 is playoffs. Lets say they lose some of it to some other things so it would make totally like 50% of normal season revenue. That **** is not making cap go down. If logic is what NHL really aims for, cap should go up by half of what it would go up by normally (so basically 2M jump instead of 4M one). At worst, the cap would stay the same. It should go up by a bit tho.

Its really just about using your brain and having a sense of *some* economical things (almost none). I dont get why people think cap would go down by 2 million because NHL missed 2 months of 8 month season.

And what about when they return and the attendance numbers are lower because society does not have the discretionary money it was spending on NHL tickets?

By the time things return to some normalcy, people will need to be worried about the rent owed from previous months because they didn't have the money to pay through the mess we know as the coronavirus.

Best case scenario would be the league keeps the cap the same, takes the hit for the next season, perhaps the season after as well. I think you forgot the part where reality trumps going to sports events.

I feel bad for all the people now laid off with rent to pay.

The cap wont go down. The most likely think to happen will be that they will jack up the escrow rate for players so the owners will make back what they lost this season and next season will pretty much be a write off for the cap. The season after it should jump up more then we initially thought it would this year when they said 84-88. Everything could change if they continue the season but I highly doubt they will.

I feel for those people same. I had one person in my family affected by it as well. You think Im not taking it into consideration? Stop. I count with it. Cap at worst would stay the same and it would have consequences on next season and the cap raise after that. This would be spread out for multiple seasons to really get back where it was. But there wont be cap lowered. Thats just ridiculous. Next season, there would be lower revenue even if full season occured due to exact reason you mentioned. They might lose 1/4 of revenue next year if its fully played.

What would be logical best case scenario..
50% of expected cap raise for 20/21 (circa 1.5-2 million instead of 3-4, which would mean cap of 83-83.5M)
75% of expected cap raise for 21/22 (which considering Seattle expansion and new TV deal would mean 4-5M raise instead of 5-6M raise, cap at 88M)
100% of expected cap raise for 22/23 (new TV deal, Seattle expansion and full revenue would mean 5-6M raise again this year, 93M cap and then the raise slows down to about 3M raise per year)

realistic worst case scenario? Here..
0% of expected cap raise for 20/21 (cap stays at 81.5M)
75% of expected cap raise for 21/22 (which again means 4-5M instead of 5-6M, cap at around 86M)
100% of expected cap raise for 22/23 (add 5-6M to 86M and you have around 91-92M cap for 22/23 at worst)
