So, reports indicate that next year's cap figure will be: $56.8 million.

So, that's a $100,000 increase over last year. The only reason for the increase is because, pursuant to a clause in the CBA, the NHLPA voted to increase the cap by 5%.

So, in reality, the cap fell by 5%, but the NHLPA's vote kept it pretty much where it was at last year.
