The cap's going up next year...right?

Ovechkin signed the biggest contract in NHL history today. Thirteen years, $124M. Alex is a 21 year old burgeoning superstar who was scheduled to become a restricted free agent next year.

That latter part should sound familiar to any Flames fans out there. To put it plainly...how much does this inflate Phaneuf's asking price?

Scary.
