The new CBA has a limit of 10% cap increases. If we calculate 110% of last year's MLE it lands at only about 11.4M.
The new CBA uses 12.2 for the MLE. It seems unlikely there would be much jump (if any) off that number, in light of the 10% ceiling.
Starting at 12.2M, with max raises, a full MLE deal is only 4/54.
Base projections that I have seen on most sites are in the 5-10% cap/MLE increase range. But I guess you could be right. We have seen seasons without any MLE changes in the last ten years.
Just to play with the numbers. For 2024/25
+5% 12.83 first year salary
+10% 13.47 first year salary
