The NHL Has Made a Huge Announcement Regarding the 2022-23 Season..

Many teams have struggled with the cap hit last year, Tampa Bay especially being one of them- having to trade away half of their core to fit with the NHL's salary cap expectations.

Some teams are stuck with bad contracts, like the Chicago Blackhawks. Jonathan Toews & Patrick Kane are both locked in at $10.5 MILLION on a lengthy contract stint. For the teams rebuilding like the Blackhawks, this is huge and will let them have some more breathing room as they deal with heavy contracts.
