Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are inching towards a long-term contract extension, and it could see the 27-year-old become the NHL’s highest paid player. Connor McDavid, whose $12.5 million cap hit is the highest in the league, isn’t phased by the possibility of being vaulted in the salary stakes. “It’d be good for hockey, I guess, to keep raising the bar,” the Edmonton Oiler said.
But ultimately the salary cap system’s a weird system where the more money you make, the less money someone else can make. It’s kind of a weird system that way.”

The Colorado Avalanche are making Nathan MacKinnon the highest-paid player in the NHL's salary cap era, surpassing rival Connor McDavid's $12.5 million average annual take by $100,000 a year. His new $12.6 million salary cap hit that goes into effect at the start of the 2023-24 season. McDavid's $100 million, eight-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers signed in 2017 was the previous record for the highest annual cap hit since the system went into place in 2005.

I was the highest paid player anywhere in the world. Sir Arthur paid me $10,000 a year, which was a lot of money then. It was more than any player was getting in the National Hockey League (NHL).
