He has achieved:
1 cup in 2004 (He was dominant in game 7, but it should have been over in 6)
1 Rocket Richard Trophy in 2007 (52G)

zero MVPs, zero scoring titles

only the one 50+ goal season, only one 100+ point season

only five seasons 30+goals, only three seasons with 1+ point per game

will he be a Hall of Famer? He is already 33.

Has anyone been paid so much for so little?

Dipietro did far less but was paid wayyy less too.
Never looked at it that way. Makes you appreciate that #12 never saddled us with outrageous contracts. In-spite of his personal accolades.
