The players make out like bandits --- Richards gets paid 12M for his playing (82+20) 102 games in 2011-12 and 7M (12M prorated for 48 games) for 56 games in 2012-13
as a Ranger and then gets paid 14 instalments of 1.714M/year , another 24M.
That will mean he gets 43M for playing 158 hockey games (playoff bonuses not worth counting)..... that's $272,151 per hockey game
he scored 116 pts... over $370,000 per point
