The 2023-24 season runs longer than usual
Puck Pedia: Next season, for salary cap purposes, it is expected to be for 192 days compared to the usual 185 or 186 days, which means:
- “There are more non-game days for players to be sent down to accrue cap space.
- Each day a player is down accrues less space (1/192 vs 1/185) than in a typical season.”
NHL Rumors: Boston Bruins, Winnipeg Jets, and the Ottawa Senators
