Red Wings cap flexibility good as NHL, NHLPA reveal projections

The NHL salary cap will increase to $95.5 million for the 2025-26 season, $104 million for 2026-27, and $113.5 million for 2027-28, marking the biggest increases since its inception in 2005.
The current salary cap is $88 million, and the increases are attributed to record-high revenue from U.S. Media rights deals and advertisements.
The cap floor will also rise, set at $70.6 million in 2025-26, $76.9 million in 2026-27, and $83.9 million in 2027-28, with possible minor adjustments.
The NHL and the Players' Association plan to meet to discuss collective bargaining matters as the current CBA expires after next season, with the possibility of an early extension.
