The escrow debt will be paid off in November, last year H.R.R was 5.7b, up from 5.2B the year prior. Lets assume no growth this season to cover the debt, even though it's only 70m owing. This brings the upper limit to roughly 89.25m. I understand contracts quite well but thanks for your opinion, as wrong as it may be.
Imagine calling Gary Bettman wrong about where the cap projections are for next season. Talk about having no self-awareness. Hell, even the numbers you are pulling up don't align with what Bettman has told us. I have a feeling you are just pulling it all out of your ass. Here's a hint about the numbers the league is using:
'He said the remaining debt is down to about $50 million.
"Very preliminary projection, but we believe the escrow will be paid off in full and the cap will be somewhere between $87 (million)-$88 million for the following year," Bettman said.
That would represent an increase of up to $4.5 million. The cap is $83.5 million this season.
The projected revenue for this season is expected to be about $6.2 billion'
You can see clearly somewhere either the league is wrong or you are wrong. Why would anyone believe its not you?
