The AHL and ECHL and to a less extent the IHL, are all minor league or semi professional leagues. In the AHL, players are typically assigned there by NHL teams and typically make 15% of their NHL salary if they have what's called a two-way contract (meaning they have an NHL salary and an AHL salary). Players that you see buried down in the minors, make their full NHL salary if they have a one-way deal (see: Gauthier, Denis by Philadelphia in 2007 among others). Players signed to AHL-only deals (i.e. no NHL rights) vary greatly. Players just coming out of juniors that were undrafted may see less than $40,000 per year (no lower than $28,000 IIRC). AHL veterans more likely in the $80,000 to $250,000 area. ECHL-only players typically make less than that. Usually in the $12,000 to $17,000 per year area (but other benefits are bestowed upon them, lodging, meal stipends, etc.). However, the ECHL salary cap works on a weekly basis The weekly team cap is ~$11,200 and the weekly team minimum is ~$8,200.
