NHL Raises Salary Cap

by Mark on June 29th, 2007

The NHL must be doing a lot better given the league has raised the salary cap to $50.3-million from $44-million. The minimum a team can spend is $34.3-million, while the top salary that an individual player can make is now $10.6-million.

Even though television revenue in the U.S. is almost non-existent, the salary cap has been raised because league revenue has climbed 29% in the past two years - probably due to higher ticket prices than anything else. Of course, this source of revenue growth is sustainable for only so long.
