NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced the new salary cap for the 2019-2020 season during the league’s Board of Governors meeting Monday.
According to theScore’s John Matisz, Bettman announced that the 2019-2020 salary cap will be approximately $83 million, an increase of roughly $3.5 million from this season’s salary cap limit of $79.5 million, with Bettman adding that the final figure could fluctuate, but noting that $83 million is the target.
“It could be a million more, it could be a million less, but if you’re focused on a number, the number we told our clubs to focus on was the $83-million range,” Bettman said, according to NHL.com’s Dan Rosen.
