from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,

SALARY CAP

The amount of money teams can spend on players hasn’t grown to the degree many expected coming out of the 2012-13 lockout. The salary cap went from $64.3-million in 2013-14 to $69-million to $71.4-million to its current spot at $73-million.

So what happens next?

An update of the league’s business situation will include an early projection of where things look to be headed with the cap in 2017-18.

We’re still months away from the final calculation – the official number won’t be finalized until late June – but teams will gain a clearer picture as they start to make personnel decisions early in the new year.
