The per-day figure is the one reported by TSN's Darren Dreger. NHL players are paid over the regular-season days, so a suspension without pay costs 1/194 of the season salary per day. The counter starts at midnight Eastern on October 29, 2026, the day the suspension was announced, and runs until a trade or a return. Comparisons use rough Detroit prices in US dollars.
