2011-12 Cap Estimate

made some adjustments due to further discussion with the HF Cap gurus.

$2,900,000,000 Rev
* .57 players cost

1,653,000,000
- 95,000,0000 benefit ( this is the average of the range that Mouser uses)

1,558,000,000
/30 (teams)

51,933,333 Midpoint
*1.05 Escalator

54.530,000
8,000,000 number to add to midpoint to determine cap

62,530,000 cap for next year.

add and subtract $500,000 for the range so

The cap should fall between $62 and $63 mil given the revenue number put out by the NHL in the VS US TV Contract press release.

IF the NHLPA and owners decide the escalator can be greater than 5% due to the CBA clause concerning a new TV contract then the cap will be higher.

I have been using $62 mil for my rosters so there is some more cash to be used for upgrades if it comes in higher than the bottom end of the range

I can't believe I am actually thinking this
