Along with the 50/50 split in revenue and the 10-year term length, the significant parts of the new deal include:
■ No individual player contract shall exceed eight years. Only players who renew deals with their existing teams are eligible for the eight-year max. All others, typically signing as free agents, are capped at seven years. Previously, there was no limit on how long players could sign.
■ Revenue sharing among teams bumped from $150 million to $200 million.
■ Individual team salary cap for this season will be $70.2 million, with a reduction to $64.3 million in 2013-14. Over the length of the CBA, the cap cannot fall below $64.3 million. The new deal allows for a total of two compliance or ‘’amnesty’’ buyouts for ‘13-14 and ‘14-15 allowing clubs to ditch player salary if necessary not to exceed the cap. The buyout figures will not be counted toward the cap. However, they will factor into hockey related renveue (HRR) computations.
■ Each club shall pay a minimum of $44 million in salaries (salary floor), in ‘12-’13 and ‘13-’14.
■ Owners agree to fund up to $300 million toward a “make whole” provision, money that will allow players with deals signed prior to the lockout to earn most, if not all, of their money.
■ Minimum salary, to begin at $525,000, will increase to $750,000 over the length of the CBA.
■ Participation in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games remains unresolved. To be agreed upon outside the agreement.
■ Player pensions, a late sticking point, will be defined benefit plans rather than defined contributions — putting greater liability on the owners.
