Wednesday was another off day for the Maple Leafs, but for not for us —we’re constantly in the mix.
In case you missed it, we could see substantial growth in the salary cap as soon as next summer. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Tuesday that the escrow balance is likely to be paid off by the players at the end of this season. And if that does happen, the salary cap would increase by around $4M —far more than initially expected. We talked about how much of a win that would be for the Leafs and where they could potentially use that extra money.
Meantime, we dissected the Atlantic Division standings through one week of regular season play. Rest assured, things will look a lot different, but it’s always good to check in on what’s happening around them in the standings as the year progresses. At least they’re not the only ones playing down to their opponents early on.
We’ll be back on Thursday at 11 a.m. EDT for a full preview of Leafs and Stars.
