Toews and Kane - 8 more years

$10.5 Million a year makes them the two highest paid players in the NHL.....so far.

From what I read, it could have been worse.

Crosby's front-loaded deal makes him the highest paid at $12 mil per.

They are the two highest paid players so far in the NHL average per season.

In signing their new 8-year, $84 million contracts today, Chicago Blackhawks stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane become the two highest-paid players in the National Hockey League.

That article is incorrect. Crosby makes $12MM per over the next two seasons before his deal drops to $10.9MM for a couple years and then down farther after that. His cap hit is $8.7MM per because he has a deal which was structured under the old CBA.

Crosby will be paid more on an annual basis than Toews and Kane until the 2018-19 season. Toews and Kane will have a higher salary cap hit than Crosby because the structure of Sid's deal is no longer permitted by the new CBA.

Shea Weber is actually the highest paid in the NHL at $14MM per for the next two years, then the two after that at $12MM. Another massively front loaded super long term deal no longer allowed under current rules.

Between now and 2023 Kane and Toews will make $90.5 mill. 

Between now and 2023 Shea Weber will make $79 mill.

Sydney will make $86.4 mill between now and 2023.

When I talk about the highest paid player, I am referring to annual salary rather than total deal.

I see your point and you are correct about annual salary.  If you are a player you want the security of a long term contract and I would take the total number over annual any day.  Unless you are an NFL player and your long term contract is meaningless.

Agreed.
