A Flat Cap in 2017-18? WTF

[PsychoticPondGoons]

Heads up gents.
The experts predict a flat cap for the NHL in 2017-18.

So any team expecting a bump up in the cap ceiling to help with extensions, you might be out of luck.

I am happy if it stays the same. Could be worse

Are these the same experts that were in charge of the election polls?

I like how it screws up each team's budget since we all expect the cap to increase yr over yr.
Like a kick to the balls when the cap is flat or decreases.

Crap, i hope they didnt listen to my conversations with Russian hockey scouts.

Speak for yourself. In Tampa we plan for every contingency 

Vegas can't wait to dive in!

I'm watching to see what teams do when they have somewhere like 5-10 extensions to resign. It's going to be a shock to their roster.
Can't wait either!
