Per Pierre LeBrun, the salary cap could be as high as $82 million next year, with $78 million apparently the low end of that projection. No matter what, it looks like a large increase on the current $75 million cap ceiling. Most of this is due to the success in Vegas, but it remains to be seen if it is sustainable.

This is good news for the Rangers, as they have a whole bunch of guys (Miller, Hayes, Skjei, Nieves, Vesey) they need to re-up. Three of those are due for some hefty raises as well. More money is always good. Hopefully this gives the Rangers the room they need to keep guys they want.
