You don't think he'd make that in the KHL where Kovalchuk makes like 15 millon?
He's an exception... The 90th highest paid player in the KHL makes around $1 million... In the NHL, I can't find a top 100 list that is current, but the 50th highest paid player today makes $6.5 million, and back 5-ish years ago, the 90th highest paid player made $4.85 million.
The salaries between NHL and KHL are not comparable. And between the NHL and the Euro leagues, forget it.
edit: another way to put it in perspective... The highest paid goalie in the KHL makes $4.5 million. In the NHL Lundqvist is making $11 million this year. A salary of $4.5 million in the NHL for goalies ranks 16th, Jonas Hiller.
