Story summary

History

Historical Context

After the 1994-95 lockout forced a shortened 48-game season, the 1995 CBA set new contract standards for teams like the Detroit Red Wings. A decade later, the 2005 lockout produced a hard $39 million salary cap that limited trade flexibility, a framework echoed today in Dylan Larkin’s and Vincent Trocheck’s high-value deals.
