Die Hawks sind nächste Saison nicht das einzige Team mit einer Cap-Penalty:
1. Chicago Blackhawks, $4,157,753 2. Boston Bruins, $1,759,795 3. Toronto Maple Leafs, $1,400,000 4. Edmonton Oilers, $354,500 5. San Jose Sharks, $327,500 6. Vancouver Canucks, $90,000 7. Pittsburgh Penguins, $83,979 8. Montreal Canadiens, $68,751 9. Detroit Red Wings, $50,000
All nine teams were pushed against the upper limit in part because of long-term injuries and then past it when performance bonuses were achieved.
