I am interested to know what the highest paid 2011 draftees are. All I know is that RNH makes 6 million a year, and he had signed a 6 year deal? Curious what the other alumni from the 2011 draft are making at the top end. I would expect Gaudreau's contact to surpass all of them, but would be interested in a comparison.
All I know is that it will still be peanuts in comparison to one of Jagr's past contracts (17.4 million - NHL salary record). Found it pretty interesting as to how quickly salaries rose at the top end throughout the years.
