Crosby Hits #1 in All Time Pay

Jesus, Vinny was an absolute beast in his prime but his prime was short. And the dude absolutely raked it in.

Scott Gomez has the greatest "earnings to goals" ratio.

Yeah Gomez 61M with 181 goals, Zajac (who just scored) 62M with 203 goals

 

[andrjusha]

for comparison:
Yashin 69M for 337G
Thornton 109M for 425G

Clarkson 46M for 114G is worse than all above

Better player earns more money. What's confusing?

Hopefully Crosby production does not follow his salary

You know what's hilarious, I didn't even look it up. I just assumed it was him.

Brad Richards just quietly being paid f***tons.

Jesus, Vinny was an absolute beast in his prime but his prime was short. And the dude absolutely raked it in.

And he'll still get another 10.5 million over the next six seasons.

Well earned and well deserved!

I look forward to that rising in the future, though. NHL players take a lot of hits and are in a very rough game. I'd like to see them make more, like the other big three North American sports.

NHL players making more means my season tickets and concessions prices go up. No thanks! They make quite enough thank you.

CapFriendly posted this on Twitter today and I thought it may be of interest here.



Crosby passed Jagr today for most estimated earnings all time. Some other interesting stuff on the list that struck me includes how high Weber is (I love Weber but 4th highest paid all time love?... unsure) and how high Sakic is considering his era.

Good for him well deserved.

Lol the average NHL salary is enough for me to comfortably retire on at age 25. I'm sure as shit not going to feel bad for them for what they're making

The average NHLer makes $2.6 million or so a year, so you can live a $100k per year life and never run out of money using the rule of 4%. Yeah, I don't feel bad for any pro athlete when it comes to money.

Assuming you live in the city you play for, the real estate prices alone would require a good income.
