2014–15 NHL transactions


The following is a list of all team-to-team transactions that have occurred in the National Hockey League during the 2014–15 NHL season. It lists which team each player has been traded to, signed by, or claimed by, and for which player or draft pick, if applicable. Players who have retired are also listed.
The 2014–15 trade deadline was on March 2, 2015. Any players traded or claimed off of waivers after this date are eligible to play up until, but not in the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Retirement

Contract terminations

At any time, a team and a player can mutually agree to terminate a player's contract.
For more details on contract terminations:


Contract termination specifications


Teams may buy out player contracts for a portion of the remaining value of the contract, paid over a period of twice the remaining length of the contract. This reduced number and extended period is applied to the cap hit as well.
  • If the player was under the age of 26 at the time of the buyout the player's pay and cap hit will reduced by a factor of 2/3 over the extended period.
  • If the player was 26 or older at the time of the buyout the player's pay and cap hit will reduced by a factor of 1/3 over the extended period.
  • If the player was 35 or older at the time of signing the contract the player's pay will be reduced by a factor of 1/3, but the cap hit will not be reduced over the extended period.
All players must clear waivers before having a contract terminated. Injured players cannot be bought out.
† - Following the 2012–13 NHL lockout each team was granted two compliance buyouts that would not count against the salary cap in any further year, regardless of the player's age. After using a compliance buyout on a player, that player is prohibited from rejoining the team that bought him out for one year; the NHL deemed that the re-signing of a player following a trade and a subsequent compliance buyout would be ruled as cap circumvention.

Staff compensation

NHL teams will receive compensation for losing a coach, general manager or president of hockey operations to another team while they are still under contract. Teams will receive a second-round draft pick if a transaction happens during the season and a third-round pick if one occurs in the off-season. Teams will have a three-year window to choose from when to lose their draft pick.
