The reductions will be around 25% and affect employees making more than about $75,000, according to a person familiar with the matter. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed that the league was making the cuts, but declined to comment further. The move would apply to league personnel, such as NHL executives, not team staffs and players.
