Not Disclosed
In the era of the CBA, NHL player salaries are more important than ever. Diehard fans follow every signing and not only how it’ll impact each team on the ice, but figure out how much salary room is available under the cap. Every team won’t hit the cap limit, but payroll ranges are generally known.
I’m still amazed to get so many press releases with lines like this:
In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fans who want to know terms then flock to the NHLPA‘s website or sites like TSN or Sportsnet.
I copied that line right from the Capitals release about the signing of Jason Morgan. I use the Caps as an example because they’re so good about access and so easy to communicate with (mandatory Ted Leonsis blog link), but still don’t include salary terms in their releases. Perhaps there was a time where such things were considered too personal, or tasteless to have within a release, but that time has passed.
