Hockey Zone Plus has a lot of salary data (though I'm not sure how accurate the site is).

Link: http://www.hockeyzoneplus.com/$0607_e.htm. Scroll down to "Fortunes Accumulated". I was amazed (in a bad way) to see who finished 3rd.

I'd love to see it adjusted for inflation, see what some old-time, like pre-WW2 and pre-1926 players earned.

I doubt any of that information is still available. I'd be shocked to see much information even through about the mid-70s.

True, but some contracts by big name players, such as Cyclone Taylor and King Clancy are known.

In a similar vein I'm curious if any player has ever earned more than Fedorov's $28M in '98 ($2M base, $14M signing bonus, $12M bonus for reaching, possibly winning, WCF).

39 games in 2002-03, but he earned 47 mill USD in the last five seasons (incl. 2003-04 when he was injured all season long)

Even adjusted for inflation, none of them made anything worth writing home about.

Now here's some nauseating career earnings not including endorsements.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Wouldn't Jagr be a good choice, even though he spent his money in A.C and Las Vegas.

 

[Mirinho]

since 1999 was Jagr best payed player (but next season will have Gomez and Briere more than him)

during lockout he was best payed player in Russian hockey league

Hmm, you're right, Clancy's 11,600 deal for the 31-32 season is worth less than 200,000.

And the only solid info I can get on Taylor is too old for the inflation calculator.

There isn't a conversion for 6 beaver pelts and a stout hearted mule?

I can't believe Kevin Brown has made the 5th most $$$ in baseball history...

There's limited data on the Hockey Zone Plus website (http://www.hockeyzoneplus.com/$prehi_e.htm) which can be combined with inflation data from the Bank of Canada (http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/en/rates/inflation_calc.html).

Newsy Lalonde's $1,300 salary in 1918 is worth roughly $17,000 today. In 1917, the Canadian government introduced a "temporary" tax on personal and corporate income to finance the war. This became the basis for the modern Income Tax Act. Tax rates were significantly lower in 1918; still, like the rest of us, Newsy Lalonde wasn't exempt from paying tax.

Frank Frederickson's $3,500 in 1926 is worth around $43,000 today.

Jean Beliveau's $21,000 in 1954 is worth around $168,000 today. Doug Harvey and Rocket Richard each earned $25,000 in 1960, worth around $181,000 today.

Bobby Orr earned $35,000 US as a rookie in 1967. That was worth roughly $38,000 Canadian in 1967, which, in turn, is worth around $237,000 today.

Bobby Hull's million-dollar salary (from the WHA) in 1972 was worth around $1.14 million Canadian at the time. It's worth around $5.5 million today.

Mario Tremblay's surprisingly high salary of $80,000 in 1975 is worth $315,000 today.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Jagr's probably up there for the list of $$ made, but he's also on the top of the heap for $$ squandered.

 

[Sens Rule]

I think Modano heads that list. Nearly Bankrupt after earning like $30-40 million.

 

[CapsChemist]

I think its none of our business how much players made or what they did with their money. If Yashin made a ******** then good for him.If Jagr blew his money on craps in AC then good for him. Don't hate.
