About this episode
The NHL salary cap is about to EXPLODE—and it could change EVERYTHING for the Montreal Canadiens.
With league revenues hitting new highs, the cap is projected to rise significantly over the next few seasons. But what does that actually mean for the Habs? And how does it reshape the entire NHL landscape?
In this episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down:
- How rising NHL revenues are driving the salary cap up
- What a higher cap means for the Canadiens’ rebuild
- Why Montreal is in a prime position to SPEND
- The gap between rich vs. budget teams—and how it could widen
- How Kent Hughes can weaponize cap space to accelerate the rebuild
The Canadiens are one of the best-positioned teams in the NHL financially… but will they take advantage?
This is a must-watch if you want to understand where the Habs—and the league—are heading next.
