Small, Australian, passed over in the draft twice... and now gets himself a multi-year one way deal!!

Good for him. That's almost $1.2m Australian. Even at NHL minimum wage that would put him among the highest paid Aussie team-sport athletes (outside of the NBA and soccer).

After this contract, he'll be pushing 10 mil in career earnings(if I'm reading capfriendly right).
May not be much by NHL standards, but I think he's done alright for himself.

Biggest contracts for stars are around 1-1.5m AUD for 4-5 years. Careers generally end in early 30s, too.

Has his name on the Stanley Cup also. Had a big assist for us against the Pens in the cup run from memory. Think this contract "only" gets him to around $5m, which is not to be sneezed at.

He is completely unknown here in Aus. Good for him.
