The Forfeit Ledger
Every NHL player we could verify losing pay to a suspension this season. Each line shows the math. One line is still open, so the total keeps moving.
The tape
One line prints every five seconds for as long as Detroit isn't paying Dylan Larkin.
Larkin's $8,000,000 salary is paid out over 194 days. Every day he sits, $41,237.11 stays with the Red Wings.
That's an hour, a minute, a second.
He's been suspended since Oct 29. That's days and counting.
The 194-day rate isn't a guess. Connor Hellebuyck's $7.5M salary over 24 suspended days comes to exactly the $927,835.05 The Hockey News reported.
General ledger
Biggest debit first. Red is money the player didn't get paid.

Petty cash
Fines, not suspensions. Nobody missed a game for these. Not counted above.
How it's calculated
Settled amounts come straight from the source. NHL.com publishes the exact forfeit for Department of Player Safety suspensions. The Hockey News reported Hellebuyck's.
Larkin's line is ours: $8,000,000 ÷ 194 × time since midnight ET on Oct 29. Detroit hasn't published a figure. Treat it as an estimate.
Charlie McAvoy's six-game forfeit is theScore's "roughly $300,000." It's in the total, flagged as an estimate. Ridly Greig's two-game forfeit wasn't published, so it's listed and left out.
Only players we verified with a source are here. If you know of one we missed, it isn't on the books until we can cite it.
