As per the NHL CBA, 18.7 Fines. (b), a fine may be in an amount up to 50% of a player's (averaged) salary, divided by the number of days in the regular season, but in no event may it exceed $10,000 for a first offence (or $15,000 for any subsequent fine within the rolling year).
I.e., the max fine the League can give is $10,000/$15,000 depending on if they are a repeat offender or not.


With that said, the NHL DoPS then goes on to contradict itself by publishing articles such as the article announcing Jeff Petry's fine (here), wherein they say Petry was fined the "maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement", $5,000.
$5,000 is the maximum the League can hand out without having to offer a telephone hearing (CBA 18.7 (d)).

Offering a telephone hearing would allow the player to refute the case, and the DoPS would have to prove their point and counter argue. In this instance, they can simply slap the fine down without further process.


Sometimes the official releases also just simply list the wrong max values for those below $5,000.

The following lists the players listed as maximum fines, alongside what their true maximum should be:
PlayerIncongruity
Jeff Petry$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Michael Carcone$2,027.23 vs. $2,027.03
Alexander Romanov$5,000.00 vs. $6,756.76
Darnell Nurse$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Casey Cizikas$5,000.00 vs. $6,756.76
Kirill Kaprizov$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Blake Coleman$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Mathieu Joseph$5,000.00 vs. $7,972.97
Mikhail Sergachev$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Clayton Keller$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Mikhail Sergachev$5,000.00 vs. $12,972.97
