Hurricanes Closing In On Notable Free Agent


Recommended Posts

800K for an AHL starting goalie is pretty much on par. Especially one that can start some games in the NHL every now and then.

 

 

There's only about 65 players total in the AHL that make over 105k a season and rookie/entry level contracts are maxed at 70k a season. The average salary of a starting AHL goalie is around 80k a season. Dan Ellis was paid 200k for his Charlotte Checkers salary. 

 

800k would place him in the top 10 pay wise in the AHL, further more it would be nearly half of what Charlotte's current payroll of 1.4 million is. No one on Charlotte's team right now is paid more then 150k a season right now and the team has one of the lowest payrolls in the AHL. 

 

So I doubt that the Hurricanes are going to want to front the bill on Peters making 800k for what's likely to be just AHL duty this upcoming season.

800k is only his salary if he is called up to the NHL. So yes, calling up an AHL starting goalie and paying him 800k to play at the NHL level is on par.

 

Btw, I'm not sure where 800k is coming from. According to the following link he is making only 550k next season at both the AHL and NHL  level. http://www.capgeek.com/player/651

 

The backup goalie we just signed is 800k. http://www.capgeek.com/player/956

$800k at the NHL level is perfectly fine.....at the AHL level is absurd.
