Colorado Avalanche 2021-22 Salary Cap Table

Reduced Salary Cap Shouldn't Hinder Avalanche's Title Defense

Salary Cap Limits Could Impact Team's Roster

The Colorado Avalanche will have less money to spend on player salaries in the 2021-22 season due to the NHL's reduced salary cap. The salary cap for the upcoming season has not yet been finalized, but it is expected to be around $81.5 million. This is down from $81.5 million in 2020-21.

The Avalanche have a number of key players who will be due for new contracts in the offseason, including Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar. The team will need to make some tough decisions about which players to keep and which players to let go in order to stay under the salary cap.
