According to Sportsnet&rsquo;s Elliotte Friedman, the cap will rise significantly in the coming years. Starting next season, the current $88 million cap will jump to $95.5 million, followed by increases to $104 million in 2026-27 and $113.5 million in 2027-28.<\/p><p>While these figures are subject to minor adjustments, Daily Faceoff&rsquo;s Frank Seravalli reports that the numbers represent a formal agreement rather than mere projections. These increases show faster year-over-year growth compared to recent seasons, with the cap rising by an average of about 9% annually instead of the usual 5%.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLPA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@NHLPA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@NHL<\/a> announce team payroll ranges for the next three seasons. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mvMyW824qI\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/mvMyW824qI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NMg1sBw3c7\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/NMg1sBw3c7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NHL Public Relations (@PR_NHL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PR_NHL\/status\/1885372656758693903?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 31, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The cap floor, which is the minimum a team must spend, will also rise significantly&mdash;from $65 million this season to $70.6 million in 2025-26, $76.9 million in 2026-27, and $83.9 million in 2027-28.

This jump benefits both top-tier stars like Connor McDavid and mid-range players seeking new contracts.<\/p><p>The immediate $7.5 million increase in the cap for next season will be the largest year-over-year jump in the salary cap era, surpassing the previous record of $6.4 million in 2008-09.
