Talk:2024–25 NHL suspensions and fines

Nichushkin totals/math
@Uncleben85, I attempted to calculate the exact cash total/missed games of Nichushkin's suspension now that the season schedule is out - mind taking a look? The  Kip  (contribs) 19:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @The Kip Don't mind at all! Off-ice suspensions are calculated differently than on-ice, so it should actually be a different number. I feel like it's been a while since I've done one of these, so let me know if this makes sense:
 * From CBA 18-A.2,
 * "For the purpose of calculating compensation forfeited due to a suspension under this Article, the Player will forfeit all Paragraph 1 NHL Salary and Bonuses, but not Performance Bonuses, commencing on the effective date of the suspension through the completion of the last game or date of the suspension, inclusive of all intervening days.
 * Nichushkin was suspended for 6 months on May 14, 2024, which means he is not available until November 14, 2024. As NHL players are not paid Paragraph 1 Salary during the playoffs or off-season, Nichushkin only actually forfeits his salary from the 2024-25 season. The 2024-25 season officially begins on October 4, 2024, so he is forfeiting his daily pay, everyday, from October 4, 2024 until November 14, 2024, which is 42 days, inclusive. With 185 days in the 2024-25 season, and an AAV (which is what the CBA says to use) of $6,125,000 that would give Nichushkin a daily pay rate of $33,108.10,8 and a total forfeiture of approximately $1,390,540.54. ie.,
 * ($6,125,000 / 185 days) x 42 days = $1,390,540.54
 * Does that make sense?--–uncleben85 ( talk ) 19:34, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
