Cap Hits Surge as Top Earners Redefine NHL Pay | San Jose Sharks News
Description
The NHL’s rising salary cap is rewriting the earnings leaderboard, with Leo Carlsson leading the pack at $18M cap hit for 2026-27, followed closely by Kirill Kaprizov at $17M. Even hockey royalty like Sidney Crosby has slipped to 52nd with just $8.7M. With the cap now at $104M — up from $95.5M — top players are cashing in big. Look out for Macklin Celebrini, set to top the list next season at $18.8M, and Connor Bedard, locked in at $15M. The game’s financial landscape is shifting fast — stars rise, fall, and reinvent themselves as the league’s wallet grows.
