Here are several tables of National Hockey League team payrolls for each team in the NHL. For simplicity, players traded mid-season are considered to be on the payroll of the team acquiring that player. ==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 (formally defined in the CBA as the "Upper Limit"), which would potentially increase from one season to the next depending on league revenues,〔(''Collective Bargaining Agreement between National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association'' ), p. 217: :"the Lower Limit and the Upper Limit of the Range shall be calculated () using Preliminary HRR and Preliminary Benefits, which shall be based upon the Initial HRR Report for the immediately preceding League Year."〕 and a cap for player salaries, set at 20 percent of the team salary cap.〔(''Collective Bargaining Agreement between National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association'' ), p.236: :"No SPC may provide for a total aggregate Player Salary and Bonuses that is in excess of twenty (20) percent of the Upper Limit for any League Year"〕 The teams also have a minimum payroll requirement (formally defined as the "Lower Limit"), which was $21.5 million in 2005–06,〔(''Collective Bargaining Agreement between National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association'' ), p. 217: :"the Lower Limit of the Range shall be $21.5 million"〕 but fixed from 2006–07 onward at $16 million below the salary cap. From the 2003–04 season to the 2005–06 season, the implementation of the salary cap caused a marked normalization of team payrolls, and a decrease in the payroll disparity from team to team. Ten teams (of thirty) decreased their payrolls by more than $15 million, with four decreasing their payrolls by more than $30 million; only seven teams increased their payrolls, with four increasing their payrolls by more than $5 million. The standard deviation of the payrolls decreased from $15,898,399 to $6,371,263 after the salary cap was introduced. Between the 1998–99 and 2007–08 seasons, the total players' payroll was $9,990,698,194, which is an average of $37,700,748 per team per season. The division with the highest total payroll over this nine-year period is the Atlantic Division, paying out $1,912,252,452 ($42,494,499 per team per season). The division with the lowest total payroll over this period is the Southeast Division—considered perhaps the weakest hockey market in the league〔According to (ESPN's attendance figures for the NHL ), attendance for the Southeast Division home games has averaged only 15,743 (82.8 percent) between 2000–01 and 2007–08, with a league average of 16,807 (91.3 percent). Teams in the Southeast Division have had a home attendance above the league average for a given year only six times: * Carolina Hurricanes: 17,386 in 2006–07 (league average of 16,957) — Won the Stanley Cup this year * Tampa Bay Lightning: 17,820 in 2003–04 (league avg. 16,533) *: 20,509 in 2005–06 (league avg. 16,954) — Won the Stanley Cup this year *: 19,876 in 2006–07 (league avg. 16,957) *: 18,692 in 2007–08 (league avg. 17,308) * Washington Capitals: 17,341 in 2001–02 (league avg. 16,759) Also, teams in the Southeast Division frequently have average attendance numbers in the bottom ten in the league for a given year: * Atlanta Thrashers (have been in the bottom ten every year between 2000–01 and 2007–08) * Carolina Hurricanes (2000–01, 2001–02, 2003–04, and 2005–06) * Florida Panthers (2000–01, 2006–07, and 2007–08) * Tampa Bay Lightning (2000–01) * Washington Capitals (2000–01, 2003–04, 2005–06, 2006–07, and 2007–08)〕—with total payrolls of $1,180,291,667 ($32,377,083 per team per season). The team that spent the most on players' salaries over these nine seasons are the New York Rangers, who spent a total of $517,076,928 for players, averaging $57,452,992 per season.〔(New York Rangers salaries from 2000–01 to 2007—08 ) at ''USA Today'' Salary Database〕〔(HockeyZonePlus: NHL Team Payrolls ) — used only for 1998–99 and 1999–2000 payroll figures〕 The Detroit Red Wings have the second highest total payroll over this period, with $483,801,165, for an average of $53,755,685 per season.〔〔(Detroit Red Wings salaries from 2000–01 to 2007—08 ) at ''USA Today'' Salary Database〕 The Nashville Predators have the lowest payroll per season over the same period, totalling $218,136,880 ($24,237,431 per season),〔〔(Nashville Predators salaries from 2000–01 to 2007—08 ) at ''USA Today'' Salary Database〕 followed by the Atlanta Thrashers with a total of $212,616,075 ($26,577,009 per season).〔〔(Atlanta Thrashers salaries from 2000–01 to 2007—08 ) at ''USA Today'' Salary Database〕 The absolute lowest payroll belongs to the Minnesota Wild, who joined the league in 2000–01. In the seven seasons since the Wild joined the league, they have the lowest total payroll, at $187,278,126 ($26,754,018 per season).〔(Minnesota Wild salaries from 2000–01 to 2007—08 ) at ''USA Today'' Salary Database〕 Nashville's payroll over this period was slightly higher, at $187,936,880 ($26,848,126 per season).〔 The Calgary Flames hold the unique distinction of being the only team to have increased their payroll every year between the 1998–99 season and the 2007–08 season. Sergei Fedorov, Paul Kariya and Jaromir Jagr have each had the highest salary on three different teams between 2000–01 and 2007–08: * Sergei Fedorov: Anaheim Ducks (2003–04), Columbus Blue Jackets (2005–06, 2006–07), Washington Capitals (2007–08) * Paul Kariya: Anaheim Ducks (2000–01, 2001–02, 2002–03), Nashville Predators (2005–06), St. Louis Blues (2007–08) * Jaromir Jagr: Pittsburgh Penguins (2000–01), Washington Capitals (2001–02, 2002–03, 2003–04), New York Rangers (2005–06, 2006–07) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of team payrolls in the NHL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
