CHL teams are also eligible for additional payments for sending players on to the NHL. A CHL team is paid $60,000 for a skater and $75,000 for a goaltender who is signed by an NHL team and retained after the start of the regular season. CHL teams are eligible for an additional $12,000 for skaters, and $15,000 for goalies if they are retained through Jan. 1 and there are more payments to CHL teams if players remain on NHL rosters past Feb. 1 and Mar. 1.
