Prosvetov $0.95M
Cooley $0.78M
Then there are the AHL vets like Hunt making $400k, and Bishop $350k, making a bit more than the usual $80-150k.
Would there be a point where the owners try to limit the amount of spending on the AHL squad like Steinberg suggested? Or is it just the new reality of having multiple players on 1-way contract in the AHL for depth?

I doubt it.
Calgary is $11m under the NHL cap with Miromanov, Bean and Kirkland on the roster so the owners are saving money at the NHL level anyway. I'm sure they might start asking questions if Conroy hands out a lot more NHL contracts that they need to bury as time goes on, but they probably are good encouraging competition so that the NHL results are better.
