The minimum is the same as the league minimum, which is $775K this season. The maximum depends on the draft year, but the current maximum is $975K per year in base and signing bonus compensation. Entry Level deals also permit performance bonuses, which can be found here: https://puckpedia.com/salary-cap/entry-level-performance-bonuses.
