Cap Comes Into Play For Ducks Roster Spots

from Dan Wood of the OC Register,
Aspiring NHL players Bobby Ryan and Brett Festerling, whose training-camp performances have put them in solid contention to be on the Ducks’ opening-night roster, are at opposite ends of a curious twist in the league’s salary-cap system.
Ryan, a winger chosen second overall in the 2005 entry draft, is in jeopardy of not making the team because of a relatively big contract that includes an $821,700 base salary at the NHL level and $925,000 more in potential performance bonuses.
Festerling, a defenseman who was never drafted and originally joined the Ducks on a training-camp tryout in 2005, could land a spot in part because his $473,300 NHL salary would be barely above the league minimum of $450,000.
