Highest-Paid NHL Players 2021-22: Connor McDavid Leads A Top Ten Still Being Stung By The Pandemic

Here are the NHL’s ten highest-paid players for 2021-22:

Under the league’s collective bargaining agreement with its players’ union, the NHL uses an escrow system to ensure a 50-50 split in revenue between owners and players. A portion of players’ paychecks is held in an account until the league can finish tabulating its income at the end of the season; that money is then returned to the players or handed over to the owners depending on how much revenue the league collected over the course of the season.

Auston Matthews, the NHL’s No. 1 draft pick in 2016, is about as compelling as an NHL player can get for marketers. He’s a prolific and flashy scorer, racking up 41 goals in the 56-game 2020-21 season to lead the league. He’s young and personable, with an interest in fashion, and he’s a Mexican American playing in Canada’s biggest hockey market. That’s all combined to produce one of the league’s most formidable endorsement portfolios, featuring brands like CCM, Nike and Verizon.

Since signing a seven-year, $81.5 million contract with the New York Rangers in 2019, Artemi Panarin has lived up to the hype, with 157 points in 118 games. The left wing, who turns 30 on Saturday, is sponsored by CCM, EA Sports and Upper Deck.
