Minor league contracts can be paid in the local currency of the NHL club (I don't know if any of the Canadian teams pay their minor league players in CDN$, but if they do, a lot of them have received nice, unexpected raises, this season).

I know the Manitoba Moose paid a lot of their players in CDN - all the players on AHL-only contracts and a few on two-way deals.
