What are the salaries of NHL players?

Answer by  rightlight (1053)

Currently, the average NHL player's salary is around 2 million a year. Franchise salaries are currently limited by a hard salary cap, which changes from year to year depending on league-wide revenues earned from the previous season. NHL players usually have their contracts front or back-loaded, since there yearly salary cap hit is based on an average of yearly earnings.
