As you can see, there is a cyclical nature with budgeting relative to each franchise’s competitive cycle. The deep-pocketed Blackhawks are not a big spender as they’re in the throes of a rebuild. The Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings are just beginning to ratchet up their salary expenditure as their rebuilds near completion.
On-ice salary expenditure is just one example of the gap between the NHL’s haves and have-nots. Staff sizes and off-ice expenses, ranging from travel and hotels to meals and equipment, are another.charted the front office construction of all 32 teams. The average hockey operations staff size was 34; most teams were in very similar ranges of two assistant GMs, seven coaches, three analytics staffers, 12 amateur scouts and four pro scouts.
The biggest outlier is the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have a whopping 49 people working in hockey operations.
