[edit] League

After the 2004–05 season was cancelled, a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was agreed upon between the NHL and the NHL Players Association. This CBA included a salary cap for team salaries, which would increase with league revenues,[1] and a cap for player salaries, set at 20 percent of the team salary cap.[2] The teams also have a minimum payroll requirement, which was $21.5 million in 2005–06,[3] but fixed from 2006–07 onward at $16 million below the salary cap.
