What happens or happened to contracts?

What happened to players contracts if there was still time left on them after last season? Do the owners owe that money to the player, is everything held over until a season, or is everything wiped away...? I can't find a search feature or I would have looked it up myself. Thanks.

From watching the Leafs press conference, Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. said guys like Roberts, Nieuwendyk, Mogilny and Domi will all be UFA this July.

But when did their contracts expire? Or was there still years on them? Also, what about the guys that were not yet eligible for UFA?
