It isn&#8217;t much, but it&#8217;s something.

<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/seravalli-nhl-salary-cap-projected-to-rise-to-82-5-million-in-2022-23/">According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff</a>, the NHL&#8217;s salary cap ceiling is projected to rise to $82.5 million next off-season ahead of the 2022-23 season. That&#8217;s a bump of $1,000,000, the first the league has seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
As per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the players and the owners split hockey-related revenue 50/50. The salary cap is determined well before the off-season based on projections of what the league&#8217;s expected revenue is going to be.
Due to the 2019-20 season getting cut short, the 2020 playoff being played in a bubble without any fans, and the majority of the shortened 2021 season being played either without fans or at partial capacity, the players reportedly owe the owners roughly $1 billion to compensate for revenue shortfall.
<a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2020/04/16/lost-revenue-uncertainty-and-the-salary-cap/">Here&#8217;s a more detailed explanation I wrote last April while the league was paused about the NHL&#8217;s revenue challenges, escrow, and what it&#8217;ll mean for the salary cap moving forward</a>. 
The league will see a boost in revenue due to the addition of the Seattle Kraken along with a new television deal made with ESPN, but there&#8217;s still concern over how many buildings will be operating at full capacity for the 2021-22 season. Seravalli projects that the players could have their debt to the owners paid off ahead of the 2025-26 season, and that the salary cap could see a significant jump after that.
