Yes, I wasn't clear. We use fantasy league salaries. Except for the early years of the pool, we use a modified version of the one from CDM fantasy sports.

We remove anyone from the list who has played less than roughly 40 career NHL games (except for top prospects). Then anyone not on the list will cost $500k. Salary cap ranges $30M to $40M depending on the number of managers in the league that particular year (the more managers in the league, the lower the salary cap), and we have to each draft 18 players. So even with actual salaries, Pacioretty is expensive relative to the salary cap we've set. Most of the guys in the pool are in other pools but there is something fun about this one because you really have to dig deep into NHL rosters to fill your team out and make it under the cap. This is why guys like Rutta and Heed get drafted.
