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.

The following lists the players listed as maximum fines, alongside what their true maximum should be:
PlayerIncongruity
Phillip Danault$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Garnet Hathaway$5,000.00 vs. $6,184.90
Mathew Barzal$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00

Jacob Trouba$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Travis Konecny$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Tyler Myers$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Mason Marchment$5,000.00 vs. $10,000.00
Matt Grzelcyk$5,000.00 vs. $9,602.86

Hartman fined maximum for actions in Wild game | NHL.com

Forward disciplined $4,427.08 for high-sticking Jets forward Perfetti

This is Hartman's FOURTH fine in a row as a repeat offender, meaning he had been fined in the 12 months prior to the new fine.

1. May 13, 2021 Ryan Hartman Dangerous trip against Sammy Blais $5,000.00
2. November 21, 2021 Ryan Hartman Slew-footing Ross Colton $4,250.00 (Repeat offender)
3. April 12, 2022 Ryan Hartman Unsportsmanlike conduct against Evander Kane $4,250.00 (Repeat offender)
4. March 7, 2023 Ryan Hartman Slashing Rasmus Andersson $4,594.59 (Repeat offender)
5. December 31, 2023 Ryan Hartman High-sticking Cole Perfetti $4,427.08 (Repeat offender)



I have never seen a player chain 5 fines in a row like that before.



On top of that, in that same timeframe, i.e. in the middle of this fine-chain, he chained two suspensions together (had been suspended in the 18 months prior)!

1. April 11, 2023 Ryan Hartman Interference against Nikolaj Ehlers 1 game $9,189.19
2. November 26, 2023 Ryan Hartman Tripping Alex DeBrincat 2 games $41,463.41 (Repeat offender)



And before all this, he already had one suspension and one fine on his record (from the same season!)

October 24, 2017 Ryan Hartman Slashing Brayden McNabb $2,320.79
April 18, 2018 Ryan Hartman Illegal check to the head of Carl Soderberg 1 playoff game



  • He has received supplemental discipline 9 times in his career
    • 6 fines
    • 3 suspensions
  • He has been identified as a repeat offender 5 times in his career
    • 4 fines
    • 1 suspension
  • He has received supplemental discipline in 5 of his 10* NHL seasons
    • 2014-15 No (*only 5 GP)
    • 2015-16 No (*only 3 GP)
    • 2016-17 No
    • 2017-18 Yes
    • 2018-19 No
    • 2019-20 No
    • 2020-21 Yes
    • 2021-22 Yes
    • 2022-23 Yes
    • 2023-24 Yes
  • He has received supplemental discipline multiple times in the same season 4 times(!)
    • 2017–18 (1 fine, 1 suspension)
    • 2021–22 (2 fines)
    • 2022–23 (1 fine, 1 suspension)
    • 2023–24 (1 fine, 1 suspension)
    • Every season he has gotten trouble, he did it again the same season, except once (2020–21)
  • He has received supplemental discipline 4 times this past calendar year alone
    • March 7, 2023 fine
    • April 11, 2023 suspension
    • November 26, 2023 suspension
    • December 31, 2023 fine

  • He has lost $75,495.06 from disciplinary actions in his career, out of $9,943,945 career earnings
    • $24,842.46 from fines
    • $50,652.60 from suspensions
  • He has sat out 4 games from disciplinary actions in his career


How the DoPS has not gotten fed up and thrown the book at him is beyond me.
