No, it's written into the CBA (11.17) that all SPCs (Standard Player Contracts) are paid in US$.
Minor league contracts can be paid in the local currency of the NHL club (I don't know if any of the Canadian teams pay their minor league players in CDN$, but if they do, a lot of them have received nice, unexpected raises, this season).
