Teams aim for just the right fit for salary cap
USA TODAY's Mike Brehm takes a look at how well teams have prepared themselves for the salary cap that's included in the tentative collective bargaining agreement. NHL payroll and salary figures are based on the union's Dec. 9 proposal that included a 24% rollback and the qualifying offer formula expected to be part of this CBA. The qualifying offer figures could change because teams might not qualify all of their restricted free agents or because some players might get raises based on an expected $450,000 minimum salary.

MONTREAL CANADIENS
2005-06 contracts: $14.48 million to eight players.
Qualifying offers: $13.96 million to nine players.
Total: $28.44 million.
Big ticket: Jose Theodore is due a qualifying offer of $4.56 million.
Comment: They're in good shape.
