Sports Lawyer shares worrying statistics about the NHL salary cap
The NHL has been eerily quiet regarding trades but teams have been busy on the waiver wire.
But why!?
Eric Macramalla, who is a Sports Legal Analyst for Forbes and TSN, recently shared some worrying facts as to why that's happening.
1) 12 NHL teams have no cap space
2) 17 teams have players on LTIR
3) 27 teams have less than $3M in cap space
4) Many teams want to make trades but can't because of cap
5) Player movement is great for the game; generates interest
Time for a more flexible approach to the cap.

One major reason is because of the hard cap that Gary Bettman introduced, but also because of the recent economic troubles due to the pandemic.
