This is an archive post to create a quick-reference on certain pay-levels for NHL prospects and players as negotiated in the CBA. This is not a comprehensive guide.
All in U.S. $ except where noted.

2012** ...... 925,000 .... 70,000
* Minor league (AHL) pay is in native currency
** NHLPA retains right to extend agreement to 2012
The Rookie pay numbers are inclusive of signing bonus and most other types of bonus. Not included is exceptional play performance bonus - this amount is set in the CBA and can substantially increase the overall compensation earned by players on entry level contracts.
Minimum Minor League pay is equal to the greater of $35,000 and that which the respective Minor League itself sets in place. i.e. if AHL minimum is $40,000 then minimum pay in that league is $40,000. All subject, of course, to the Max pay level noted above.
Maximum pay for a roster player is set at 20% of the agreed upon Salary Cap figure for the year in which the contract is negotiated. i.e. if the Cap for the year is $39 million then the most that player can make in any year of that contract is $7.8 million.

I hope this has been of assistance.

To make a long story short, your post screams that the Oilers have no plan...i date asia
I have to admit that it has not changed a lot during those years. But at least it is quite helpful to know that for the pay per head free trial
