A $5-8mio is expected asuming the NHLPA elects to do so. Which means Parise/Suter/Weber and their agents will be very happy come July 1 with 30 teams having cap space to sign them.

Or one team that needs to get to the cap floor will also be happy Raza.I would guess that one or two of Parise/Suter/Weber could be a N.Y. Ranger come July 1st if the cap does go up 5-8 mil. Of course that also could be determined on how the new CBA turns out.
Suter's gonna get 9 Mil +, bank on it.
Cap hit? I am not sure...Quote:

I don't think Suter's gonna leave too much on the table to stay with NSH and his salary will be close if not higher than that of Ehrhoff.
At least we lost a year of hockey. So, that's good.
We may lose another. There's a lot of bad blood between the NHL and the NHLPA, and now Fehr is involved. It would be absolutely insane, but it was last time too, and that didn't stop anyone.Quote:

It isn't even about the cap as it is about the cap floor. You do realize that teams that were complaining about the ones you listed were saying they couldn't spend that high. . .and now the cap floor is higher than they spent in the past right? Hell, the cap floor is like 15 million higher than the CAP was when they came back from the lockout. In addition, if the cap goes up to 72 million, keep this in mind: The highest team salary in NHL HISTORY was 77 million. Now you'll have multiple teams that will come close to that. Nothing has changed. The owners can't save themselves from themselves yet again.Quote:
