While these payouts could be considered generous, the majority of NHL players are compensated far less well than their fellow athletes in the MLB, NBA and even the NFL.
While not retired, it kills me as a Canucks fan seeing we traded a 1st round pick to Arizona for OEL whom we bought out, screwing our salary cap, then Arizona drafted Dylan "5 Goals So Far" Guenther with our pick. Makes me wanna cry into my Cheerios.
What's better is lining up for a face off and you notice the guy across from you is still making 1.6 million. This was a 9:00 p.m. beer league game on a Tuesday night at my local rink.
You state that Vincent Lecavalier scored 20 goals in 20 consecutive seasons, which is not true. He scored 20 or more in 12 seasons, with a high of 52 in '06-'07.
I can't get paid for the stuff I am still doing, much less stuff I haven't done for years and couldn't do again. Jealous.
Fun fact: ( well for me anyway). I played Jr hockey with Jeff Carter's dad. We still live in the same area.

I hope Philly sings or drafts bryzs son because It would be so funny if they were still paying him while his son was playing for there team
All sports contracts should be like football. You get your signing bonus and if you start to suck they can just cut you.

Man the things I could tell you about Carter, richards and Lupul. Pronger was instrumental in getting them traded
Not gonna lie, pretty happy to know Richards is still getting paid. Always felt like the teams really didn't help him enough with his demons.

great dive alyssa as always
Thank you!! 😁
The ‘Mastodon’ trophy? :P
What about Shea Weber?
Price isn’t retired
Un-Officially retired. Price hasnt really seriously played or practiced since the stanley cup run with the habs.
Technically, no. He's not going to until his contract expires. I think we can all agree, though, that he won't be playing another NHL game.
@@AlyssaHope he’s not retired so he doesn’t belong on this list. It’s called LTIR.
@@AlyssaHopeyes, but you need to state facts. He isn’t officially retired
Alyssa, what microphone do ya use?
