Four NHL teams currently face potential financial penalties after exceeding league-imposed limits on the number of players they can place on trade and movement clauses. The clauses, which allow teams to retain a percentage of a player’s salary if traded, are tightly regulated to prevent excessive financial manipulation.

The situation highlights ongoing debates about salary cap management and team accountability in the league.
