Below the accounting page of the Pinguins. As you can see their expenses far exceeded their revenue because of their high payroll and they had a huge financial loss. Usually this is corrected automatically by the game via cash from owner the next season so that their finances are kept in check. But still they start with a negative starting balance so they have no budget for free agents.

Ideally there should be team opt-outs in contracts when relegated (termination of contract or automatic salary reduction while not playing in the highest league).
Salary reduction would make players opt out of their contracts sooner when relegated and this would allow teams to control their finances better.
