Team-by-Team Salary Cap Breakdown As of Jan. 4, 2012 :: 12:31pm ET

General managers and their staff must have a proper understanding of completing trades within the NHL's salary cap era. Making moves aren't as easy as they once were, and player salaries are taken into account for every deal.

Below is a team-by-team breakdown of each club's proximity to this season's $64.3 million salary cap. Figures have been rounded to the nearest thousandth, courtesy of CapGeek.com. Player bonuses are factored into some of the "Project Total Salary Spending," which may cause certain numbers to equate to a different cap figure. This page will be updated frequently between now and the Feb. 27 trade deadline, as various roster moves affect each team's project cap spending.
