NHL Pay for playoffs and Stanley Cup winners prize money

When it comes to playoffs, the players get their salaries based on their annual contracts since contracts are paid from July 1 to June 30. The players do not get paid a new or separate salary for playing in the postseason.

The League rules actually limit from giving players bonuses for making it to the playoffs or for winning the Stanley Cup. Players who are on entry-level contracts or those over the age of 35 are allowed to be paid bonuses for performing in the playoffs.

However, players still do receive a compensation amount for a playoff appearance in their attempt to the become the Stanley Cup winners. Based on how far they advance, the NHL and NHLPA (NHL Player’s association) decide to set aside a playoff bonus pool to be distributed to each playoff team.

The winners of the Stanley Cup are given $17 million.
