RETAINING SALARY IN TRADES
This was Brian Burke’s baby, an idea he pushed for years at GM meetings. Under the old CBA, teams could not absorb any part of a salary from a player they were trading -- unlike baseball for example.
But in this new agreement, teams will be able to do that.
Here are the main parameters of the rule: A club cannot absorb more than 50 percent of the players’ annual cap hit/salary in any trade. Any NHL club can only have up to three contracts on their payroll in which the contract was traded away under the retaining salary proviso. Also, only up to 15 percent of your upper limit cap amount can be used up by the money you have retained in trades.
For example, let’s say the Maple Leafs want to trade little-used blueliner Mike Komisarek and his $4.5-million cap hit ($3.5 million salary this year) to the New York Islanders (hypothetically). The Leafs could retain half the cap hit -- $2.25 million -- and half the salary -- $1.75 million -- in order to facilitate the deal. The Islanders would pay him the other half. This should facilitate more trades around the league, no question.

Is it detailed though to the point where the team that trades the player while retaining a portion of his salary will see his ''dead cap hit'' show up on the finances page?
Wade Redden rule: a player with a one way contract earning $375,000 per year above the league minimum and playing in the AHL will have the entire cap less $100,000 count against the teams cap. This does not include players on a conditioning stint.
- Another thing is that players’ full salaries cannot be buried in the minors or Europe anymore. Anything over the minimum salary plus $375,000 will count against the salary cap. Teams’ mistakes will now cost them dearly.
Call this the Wade Redden (or Jeff Finger) rule.
Donc un joueur avec le salaire PRO lorsqu'il joue FARM compte sur la masse salarial du PRO - (Salaire minimum d'un joueur + 375 000$)
Par exemple:
Un Joueur X possède un Contrat PRO dans le FARM ( 5 000 000$)
On doit soutirer (Salaire minimum d'un joueur + 375 000$) En 2012-2013 le salaire minimum est de 525 000$ + 375 000$ (Montant fixe) = 900 000$
Donc :
5 000 000$ - 900 000$ = 4 100 000$ qui compte sur la masse salarial du PRO
