Is it possible for the NHL salary cap to ever decrease?

Question

Is it possible for the NHL salary cap to ever decrease?

Answer 1

Yes, very soon.  Once it gets to past 60 million or so, Bettman will probably freak out because the parody of the NHL is gone and will decrease it.  

I believe the perfect salary cap would be around 55 million dollars.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible.

Answer 3

Yes, and it probably will when the American dollar recovers. It's tied directly as a percentage of league revenues, and the higher Canadian dollar has really inflated the numbers with nothing actually changing.

Answer 4

Yes.  If the NHL's revenue decreases, then the salary cap decreases.  This is to ensure that the players' salaries don't exceed 57 percent of the league's revenue.

Answer 5

Oh, it's possible. But you have to ask, why would they want to do that when there is enough money to keep increasing it to former salary highs?

Answer 6

Yes. If profits go down so does the cap.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

i doubt it will ever happen
