Boston Bruins Salary Cap Penalty: A Hefty Burden

Over the Limit

The Boston Bruins find themselves in a precarious position regarding the NHL salary cap. The team is currently over the cap for the 2022-23 season and faces a hefty penalty if they cannot become cap compliant.

Sturm and Ryder's Impact

A significant contributor to the Bruins' cap woes is the hefty contracts of David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand. Together, these two players account for over $15 million in cap space.

Limited Cap Space

As of now, Boston has a mere $39,062 in available cap space, far below the $830,708,34 under the $83.5MM Upper Limit Entry-Level Contracts. This leaves the Bruins with a daunting task of shedding salary in order to meet the cap requirements.
