Just a quick look at a few teams
Toronto owes 8 players $61 million on July 1. ($37m July 2021)
Rangers owe 8 players $34 million on July 1. ($24m July 2021)
Tampa owes 5 players $28.5 million on July 1. ($25m July 2021)
Edmonton owes 4 players $22 million on july 1. ($13m July 2021)
Looks good on the idiots 
Flames owe Johnny, Monny and Chucky $3.5m each this year but nothing next July |
Those are subject to escrow just like any other salary though. If the league revenue completely tanks, then the teams will be getting a good chunk of that money back.
