Siinä joukkueet joilla suurimmat palkkabudjetit tällä hetkellä.
Jos katsotaan joukkueita joilla on pienimmät palkkabudjetit niin ne ovat:
Washington:25 Players 11 Salaries Undisclosed $17,463,505
Restricted Free Agents: Josef Boumedienne.
Unrestricted Free Agents: Bates Battaglia, Jean-Luc Grand Pierre, Craig Johnson, Kip Miller, Brad Norton, John Gruden, Sebastien Charpentier, Matthew Yeats, Stephane Beauregard, Jeff Paul, Jason Doig, Justin Eddy, Garret Stroshein.
Florida: 20 Players 3 Salaries Undisclosed $18,689,718
Restricted Free Agents: Christian Berglund, Jay Bouwmeester, Olli Jokinen, Vaclav Nedorost, Mike Van Ryn.

Huikea ero noissa palkkabudjeteissa, tosin mm.Floridan budjetti kasvaa varmasti reilusti jos ja kun Jokinen allekirjoittaa uuden sopimuksen.
suurimpia palkkoja ensi kaudella:
Jaromir Jagr $7.8 million
*** Washington picks up part of Jagr's $7.8 million salary, which is reduced from $8,420,348 under the new CBA.
Nicklas Lidstrom $7.6 million
Keith Tkachuk $7.6 million
Alexei Yashin $7.6 million
Jarome Iginla $7 million
Mats Sundin $6.84 million
Nikolai Khabibulin $6.75 million
Bill Guerin $6,738,498
Joe Thornton $6.666 million
Joe Sakic $6,664,797
Martin St. Louis $6.5 million
Rob Blake $6,364,111 million
Vincent Lecavalier $6 million
Joukkeissa kuten Minnesota, Buffalo, Phoenix päästään tuskin kolmeen miljoonaan kalliimpien pelaajien kohdalla. Gaborikin palkka ensi kaudella on "vain" $2,67 miljoonaa joka siis on paras Wildin organisaatiossa.
