So after paying his agent he ends up with 1.75 million over 3 years of NHL hockey. Put that in an ETF at a safe withdrawal rate of 4% and you have about 70k per year for life or live off 200k in cash per year and leave 1 million in an ETF let it grow for the 5-10 years of you career and never worry about money again.
These numbers are still huge for a guy making in the bottom quartile of NHL Salary.
