Looking ahead: NHL 2005-06 Payrolls
Tuesday, February 22, 2005
Looking ahead to the 2005-06 season, the Detroit Red Wings
have the most money committed to payroll with 16 players under contract for just
over $50 million. At the bottom of the list are the Boston Bruins, who have just
$3.8 million committed to four players, according to figures put out by the
NHLPA during the collective bargaining process.
The league average team payroll is just under $22 million at
this point and the average number of players signed per team sits between nine
and ten.
The payroll figures do not include any kind of salary rollback.
Each team's list does not include all players under contract. The players
listed by the NHLPA were only those who spent at least 90 days on an NHL roster
in 2003-04.
