The numbers
below are an
estimate as of July 1, 2007 of the where all 30 teams
finished the 2005-06 season with respect to the salary cap.
These numbers may still change if the cap numbers of some
players can be more accurately determined, but at the current
time there is no plan to update any of the numbers here.
If there is an update, a notice will be placed on the home page.
For reference, the Upper Limit in 2005-06 was $39 million while the
Lower Limit was $21.5 million; those two figures were not set by the
formula used in the CBA, but were agreed to by both the NHL and NHLPA as
part of the agreement that ended the lockout.
Atlanta and Detroit definitely finished 2005-06 over the Upper Limit,
but the exact amount for each is unknown. Atlanta was rumored to
have been over by $1 million, while Detroit was rumored to have finished
over by $400,000. The numbers below are the best estimate
available without more official data.
This spreadsheet shows how each team's
final Salary to Date was calculated, and should also remain unchanged
unless new information becomes available.
The explanation of the fields in the table
SALARY TO DATE - The amount of averaged salary each team has
been charged with to date.
INJURY ALLOWANCE - For those teams who have long-term injured
players and who would exceed the Upper Limit, the adjustment
given for replacing the salaries of those players. This does NOT
take into account performance bonuses.
BONUSES - The total value of achievable performance bonuses
for 2005-06 contracted to players on the current roster
PROJECTED FINAL - The estimated final amount of averaged
salary a team would be charged with; assumes that all potential
performance bonuses will be paid.
PAYROLL ROOM - The amount of payroll room the team finished
2005-06 with; teams who went over the cap in
(negative). Teams could end up
exceeding $39 million due to performance bonuses.
