Highest paid player in the NHL: Jaromir Jagr at $8,360,00
Highest in the NFL: Peyton Manning $14,000,000
Highest MLB: A-Rod $25,000,000
So as compared to other proffesional sports leagues, no.

NHL? Yeah. If you compare a professional hockey player to the average American, even the lowest paid will be rich. If you compare someone in the NHL to someone in the NFL or MLB, then no. Baseball players get paid far too much. An average superstar in the NHL will make about 7 million a year.

Yup. But not as big as other sports. Which, is if you ask me, why it is the best sport. Least paid, and there not complaining.
Proof: Tony Romo just signed a 6 yr/$67.5 million contract, and hes one of the best QB right?
Miika Kiprusoff just signed a 6 yr/$35.7 (something like that) million contract, and he is one of the best G in the league...

Not compared to other sports like baseball, where apparently you can play well in the regular season and be worthless in the post season and still sign 10 year contracts worth over 200 million dollars.

Not if they play for the Bruins! Harry Sinden was a cheap GM and Jacobs is a cheap owner. They should have given Nylander the big $$$, but they rather be well under the salary cap, and not use it for a rainy day.
