Notes

Each NHL team is limited to having fifty (50) players signed to NHL contracts. (Players aged 18 or 19 playing in North American major junior leagues or Europe are excluded from that number.) Each NHL team may have no more than ninety players in their organizational depth chart.

The average salary for 2018-19 was $3,244,126.

NHL salary cap (per team) for 2024-25 is $88m.

If the club/team wishes to take a player to arbitration, they have from June 15 or 48 hours after Stanley Cup being awarded (first period) or 5:01pm ET July 5 to 5pm ET July 6 to elect arbitration. A team can take a player to arbitration only once (but a player can elect arbitration as many times as he wants). If a team takes a player to arbitration, they cannot walk away from the award. If a player-elected arbitration award is $4,084,219 (2017)or greater, teams can "walk away" from the arbitration (and match negotiated contract up to 85% of arbitration award with new club).

The minimum NHL player salary is 2021-22 $750,000.

QO amounts from CBA: Article 10.2 (a)(ii) Players earning $660,000 or less will be entitled to qualifying offers (QO) at 110% of their prior year’s salary; players earning more than $660,000 and up to $1 million will be entitled to QOs at 105% of prior year’s salary (but not to exceed $1 million); players earning more than $1 million will be entitled to QO at 100% of their prior year’s salary.
