Big changes are coming to the NHL on September 16, and while this isn’t an entirely new Collective Bargaining Agreement, several important contract rules are changing. Those changes could have a major impact on how teams build their rosters for years to come.
In this episode of The Starr & D’Amico Show, we break down the biggest contract changes coming to the NHL, including shorter maximum contract lengths and new restrictions on signing bonuses. Teams will no longer be able to hand out eight-year contracts to their own players, while unrestricted free agents will no longer be eligible for seven-year deals. The new limits will be seven years for players re-signing with their current teams and six years for players signing with a new club.
We’ll also examine the NHL’s new restrictions on signing bonuses. Under the updated rules, signing bonuses will be capped at 60% of the total value of a contract, changing how teams structure long-term deals and reducing the heavily front-loaded contracts we’ve become accustomed to seeing across the league.
What does this mean for the Montreal Canadiens?
Could these changes actually work in Kent Hughes’ favor? Montreal has built its roster around young, controllable talent and long-term salary cap flexibility. We’ll discuss whether the Canadiens’ current approach puts them in a stronger position than some of the league’s biggest spenders.
Join us live as we break down the latest NHL contract changes and debate whether these new rules will help or hurt the Canadiens moving forward.

right now what is happening to Canadien teams remiinde me of the mtl expos are we going to see Canadiens NHL teams fold up and move to usa? biggr markets?
It is the beginning of the end of several Canadiens teams. better get use to it. if the expose and Nordics situation does not open the eyes of the naive what will?
The one thing you didn't answer, (unless I missed it) is, why are they changing this rule? It feels like it's to intentionally kneecap Canadian teams. Edit:I just asked Ai and it's a complicated answer.
NHL will have to put a max cap salary in the NHL on 1st liners 2nd liner 3rd liners 4th liners. or if not NHL teams some of them will fold up .??you will have those rich ciries os ciries who have no taxes and rich cities competing for stanley cup and many will become developpment teams for the rich teams those teams never stnding a chance to win a stanley cup.The greed of the few is creating thos wall that is rizing year after year we see those exagerated contracts being signed.
Sign em young, No house, no wife, no kids. 8 mill looks like a jackpot to a 20 year old. Sure it is a gamble. But a smart one. Hugo have been brilliant at this.
Greed will be taking over. The haves and the have nots.
The question that wasn’t answer, is why the change to 60%?? Is it Gary Bettman strategy to favor americans teams? Are we heading towards an all american league by suffocating the small canadian market teams? It is clear to me now, that Quebec will never get a team back.
Great video! I've always had trouble understanding the contract stuff with the tax situation. Also re-emphasizes just how smart Kent is doing things.
Cool, i thought the show had became member only $$$
Good only if the habs keep winning (top 10 in the league minimum) with their salary cap structure. Otherwise players won't want to sign at a discount anymore.
The changes wikl of course affect every team it is all about the timing and Mtl will feel that pressure in about 3-4 years.
Ever since the cap era began Mtl has been terrible with contracts but they were lucky with the recent timing if they had to deal this year with all those same contracts Mtl would be in big trouble.
Signing bonuses are taxed by place of residence. Salary is taxed at place of employment. So if a player lives in Florida and plays in Toronto, bonuses are taxed in Florida and salary is taxed in Ontario.
Why is Marco stuck in the backrooms, and how can we help him?
How does sponsorship play a role in players wanting to sign into different markets&
Financial strategy and operations is so important to any organisation, and I think the NHL executive committe is well balanced between lower and higher revenue teams. Obviously with greater revenue and higher profits, a team more easily spends to the salary cap but how that money is spread is critical. Carolina, Florida, and Colorado, winners of four of the last five cups are each in the lower half of revenues and operating income/profits. Interestingly, three of the NHL's richest owners anchor some of the lowest earning teams in San Jose, Anaheim and Winnipeg.
Sounds like we need to lower taxes…👀
And not just for professional athletes…
🙄
Bettman cant hear anything north of the border. If he had his way, no Canadian team would make the playoffs (ESPN would love that scenario). I believe that the cap structure in the future will more and more be calculated to slant the advantage to teams south of the border!
I'm going to guess that baby D'Amico is visiting Grand Mama and Gand Papa. Hence Marko's relegation to the basement. 😂😂❤😂😂
It's not good for the Habs because who is signing here for $8 or $9 million when they can get a lot more on the open market.
Marco , blink twice if you need help
