No, it remained at $925,000 per season as the maximum ELC base salary, which is the same as players drafted in 2011 and 2012 (and it will not increase for the entire life of the new CBA).
As a 2009 pick, Knight's single season maximum was $900,000.
The maximum for "A" bonuses (individual performance) is $850,000, and the maximum for "B" bonuses (league awards) is $2 million. This is unchanged from the last CBA.
When the maximum base salary is combined with all maximum bonuses, Knight's maximum cap hit was $3.75 million. Drouin's maximum is $25,000 more, or $3.775 million.
