This is intentional, the historical rosters don't have historical salary data yet. While it's available for more recent years, it gets extremely difficult to find accurate salary numbers the farther back you go. Actual historical salaries would also conflict with the game function that sets financial values each year to a more historically-appropriate level - that smoothes out the changes that have occurred over time in the real NHL, since the abrupt shifts in salary levels (mostly upwards, but occasionally downwards) would be disruptive to gameplay. So, for the sake of both playability and research requirements, we won't be introducing real salaries into historical play for a while yet.
