NHL free agency frenzy: Salary cap jump fuels an unpredictable market
- The NHL salary cap will increase by $7.5 million in 2025, rising to $95.5 million and providing teams with greater financial flexibility during the free agency period.
- This cap increase follows rising league revenues and a recent collective bargaining agreement extension, but the free agent class lacks many game-changing players.
- General managers including Julien BriseBois and Mike Grier expect a busy but cautious market, with many teams focusing on roster discipline and process adherence.
- The Florida Panthers, fresh off back-to-back Stanley Cup victories, have secured playoff MVP Sam Bennett with a new contract, while Toronto’s 28-year-old Mitch Marner, a 100-point scorer, could become the marquee name if he chooses to sign elsewhere or remain with the team.
- The rising salary cap is creating a dynamic and uncertain free agency period, but teams emphasize the importance of making careful, strategic choices to ensure future stability.
