On this chart you can find the current estimated totals of the Red Wings' payroll, salary cap totals and running cap space throughout the season along with a chart of seasonal player salaries. This chart is brought together from a wide variety of sources and is kept as accurate as possible.
The main salary chart below can be sorted by clicking on a specific column header. You can also view notes on a particular player entry by placing your mouse over the  icon or the player's name. Help links [?] are also available under the Active Salary Cap Summary to explain how some of those figures are calculated.
2007-08 Player Bonuses and Official Cap Numbers
Please note that the NHL recognizes a player's salary cap number as the average of the player's base salary plus any potential bonuses. In the Red Wings' case this means that Dominik Hasek's actual cap number is $4.1 million ($2.05m base salary + $2.05m in possible bonuses) and Chris Chelios's is $1.35 million ($850K base salary + $300K in possible bonuses). However, because these bonuses can be rolled over to the 2008-09 Salary Cap and the likelihood that the remaining salary cap space will be used later on in the season is high (trades, player signings) we are only including the base salary of players on the active roster to determine salary cap numbers.
Reminder: Please remember that these charts are estimations and are not meant to be taken as 100% accurate. The figures seen on this chart are gathered from a variety of informed sources in order to give you the clearest picture of the Red Wings' salary cap and contract status as we can provide.
