Some may think a $9 million dollar contract in the NHL is a lot but in reality it is peanuts to other sports. Let's take a look at the leagues highest paid player, Connor McDavid.
McDavid makes $12.5 million dollars per season (82 games). Which equals to be over $152,000 dollars PER GAME.
Equaling a whopping $6,000 per shift as McDavid obviously cannot play a full 60 minute game.
Lion Messi would laugh at McDavids warning as he's earning nearly triple per year at $34 million a season, with 44 less games played.
Messi makes just another $1,000,000 dollars a game with $894,736 per game.
Which equals over $20,000 each time he steps on the field for a shift. Insane, right? And $10,000 per minute that goes by each game.
Surprisingly hockey is one of the lowest-paying sports, as Forbes just did a «top paid athletes» statistic chart, and it is insane!
