If you've got specific players and it's not someone who's just starting in the league, I can probably answer most of them.
On a related note, if anyone knows where to find this historically, I'd *really* appreciate it.
As far as I can determine there is no publicly available site that shows contract lengths, subsequent years, etc.
The NHLPA website has the current season contracts, as does TSN.
A historical site for NHL salaries going back to 1989 is:

For example here is Bret Hedican:
