Not exactly 'news' per se, we all knew it was going up this year, but the numbers I was reading previously had it at around $68 or $69mil

One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
I was reading how James Mirtle had provided a table whereby $3.7 billion in revenue would equate to a salary cap of $70.6 million and a salary floor of $53.4 million. $3.72 billion in revenue would allow the salary cap to rise to $71.0 million with a salary floor of $53.7 million.
The $5.2 billion Canadian broadcast rights will not factor into the salary cap figure until the 2015-16 season, so the cap should continue to rise next year as well.
The NHL surely has some pretty dope actuaries... so this probably isn't much of a surprise.
$71m has been the prediction since last winter, IIRC.
I'm still thinking it will be right there - since Bettman has sort of steered people towards that thought.
There'd simply be too much grumbling if the number was too far off $71m.
You can always rely on Bettman & Co. to find the answer (or number) they were looking for!!!
I honestly don't know if it is that they are good at predicting things or good at skewing results to match their predictions... either way, bravo... I guess.

Well, UFAs this summer are already celebrating their soon to be inflated salaries.
So when's the next NHL lockout scheduled for??
How long are Duncan Keith and Marion Hossa going to holdout until their insane contracts are restructured next season??
