If Team USA manages to win the 4 Nations Face-Off, they'll be able to throw one hell of a victory party, says Ken Campbell.
When you total up the cap hits of all the NHL players participating in the 4 Nations Face-Off, it comes out to substantially more than half a billion dollars, $609.6 million to be exact.
Suffice it to say none of the four teams would be cap compliant in the NHL this season. But when the cap goes up to $113 million in 2027-28, the Finns would be able to form an NHL team and be able to play.
To nobody's surprise, pre-tournament favorite USA comes in with the highest combined cap hit at $177.9 million. Canada is a close second at just over $174 million, Sweden is third at $150.8 million and the plucky Finns trail the group by a significant margin, coming in at just $106.9 million.
