Flags: dead cap (buyouts/retained) reported · incomplete: cap hit not disclosed for 1 roster player(s).
Reported figures. Contract data comes from the open nhl-contracts dataset (CC0), which ties each number to a public source: A NHL.com club release, B NHL.com story, C ESPN wire, D PuckPedia public post, E CapFriendly archive to July 2024. Where the dataset was missing or wrong we checked figures by hand against a club release or team site ("club") or a reputable news report ("news"); each links to its source. "n/d" means not disclosed; we leave it blank rather than guess, so totals for teams with n/d contracts are understated.
Not fully modelled yet: LTIR relief, performance-bonus overages, the junior exemption from the 50-contract limit, and in-season proration. Buyouts and retained salary are included only where the dataset reports them. Contracts this season count only for players on the current NHL roster. Cap rules: 2026-27 payroll range (NHL, May 6, 2026) and the CBA (50-contract limit). Dataset updated 2026-11-04.
