NHL Teams Cap Space
Ok, before people jump all over me, these numbers are all based on every team being able to spend the Cap Maximum. Just so you understand, thats what the site I got these numbers from states. The site was also last updated on July 4th for certain teams and July 6-7 for others, so certain players might have signed to change these numbers. Now, moving on.
Many of you will be surprised to find out just how much cap space certain teams have left. I’m gonna go by division and in brackets will be the RFA’s the team still has to sign.
