Incongruous fines[edit]
As per the NHL CBA, 18.7 Fines. (b), A fine may be in an amount up to 50% of a player's (averaged) salary, divided by the number of days in the regular season, but in no event may it exceed $10,000 for a first offence (or $15,000 for any subsequent fine within the rolling year). With that said, the NHL then goes on to contradict itself by publishing articles such as the article announcing Jeff Petry's fine (here), wherein they say Petry was fined the "maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement", $5,000. $5,000 is the maximum the League can hand out without having to offer a telephone hearing (CBA 18.7 (d)).
The following notes the players listed as maximum fines, alongside what their true maximum should be:
