Share of the cap, season by season
The contract as the cap moves
Three lines: the share in the season it was signed (dotted), the share the cap was expected to leave it (dashed: the cap announced on the signing date, grown 3.5% a year), and the share as the cap actually was or is announced (solid). The shaded band is where the share lands if the cap follows the fan.
Against a 3.5% expectation, this deal over 3 seasons with a cap on file.
- 2025–26: of $95.5M (actual cap) · expected 1.1% of $89.4M · gap
- 2026–27: of $104.0M (announced cap) · expected 1.0% of $92.6M · gap
- 2027–28: of $113.5M (league projection) · expected 1.0% of $95.8M · gap
- Flat-cap tax (+) or windfall (−)

The record
Where each figure comes from
- Tier

- Sources
- Quoted
- At-risk re-sourced: the club release states term only; tier reported; seasons derived: the Blues' own contract tracker lists Dvorsky in the 2026-27 and 2027-28 columns (per-season figures on that page are salary, not cap hit), so the three-year entry-level deal runs 2025-26 to 2027-28; the ledger had 2023-24 to 2025-26
