Salary cap set at 73M

[Orca Pod]

Up from 71.4M.

Players had to use their escalator, or else it would have gone down.

Weak Canadian dollar is mostly to blame.

This is good news for the most part, allows teams more room to try and keep their core in tact and/or add depth.

The Canucks are in pretty darn good shape cap wise, I am curious to see if they stay that way after July 1.

The Canucks have bought out the final year of Higgins' contract. Giving them a bit more cap space.
