The overall team salaries are higher than the NHL, but for most teams, the cap is eaten up by only a few players. Most teams have at least half their players making under a million.
One might think that they would structure their new CBA so that injured guys making high salaries aren't the most valuable commodities come trade deadline day. Also, I'm sure the players would like to spread the wealth somewhat, so it isn't just the top players making all the money.
