The Race to NHL’s Highest Payroll | Minnesota Wild News
Description
Kirby Puckett once held baseball’s highest-paid player title—only to see it vanish in days. Now, in the NHL, Kirill Kaprizov briefly held the crown before Leo Carlsson’s $18M deal dethroned him. Salaries are skyrocketing, with Quinn Hughes possibly eclipsing Kaprizov and Cale Makar rumored to be next in line for $20M contracts. While teams lock in stars at seemingly reasonable rates today, history shows it’s on-ice legacy—not contract numbers—that truly defines greatness.
