TSN: There were many teams that had to cut the salary of coaches and staff during the pause. Darren Dreger says not all are back to full pay.
“Well, some, but not all. Obviously it’s a very sensitive issue to all those who are involved. The NHL Coaches’ Association is trying to get all head coaches and assistant coaches back up to full salary. Those who accepted the voluntary pay reduction or those who contractually were forced to take it because of the term ‘pause.’
Now some contracts include a force majeure clause which, in this case, was triggered by the NHL going into pause.
