Under CBA 15.6, players who were injured during training camp or the off season receive a blended salary of their NHL salary and minor league salary if
a) they played less than 50 games that count towards the pension plan in the preceding season
and
b) are on a 2 way deal
The blended salary is essentially a weighted average calculated as:
NHL salary * NHL days in previous season / number of days in the previous season + minors salary * minor days in previous season / number of days in the previous season
Then the player is paid the blended salary / number of days in current season per day until they are cleared to play.
If someone wants to go back and figure out how long Valimaki was in the NHL vs the AHL last season, you can calculate exactly how much he will get paid per day.
