Largest NHL Contracts Ever?

[stajan55]

I am doing a project for school about professional sports contracts and I need to know what the most expensive contracts ever signed were. I know that Alexander Ovechkin signed a 13 year, 124 million contract.

Thanks James

Rick DiPietro - 15 years, $67.5 million

Vincent Lecavalier - 11 years, $85 million

Alexei Yashin - 10 years, $87.5 million

I don't know the numbers, but some of the NY Islanders have/had huge long term contracts: DiPietro and Yashin come to mind.

Hope this helps! Regards, Patrick

Didn't Jagr have a 7-year, $77 million deal before the lockout when he was with the Caps?

Thanks a lot for the help guys. Also does anyone happen to have a video file of the Sean Avery comments towards Doin Phaneuf?

Mike Richards just signed a big deal too.
You might want to consider the income that players generate from sponsorships too.
I'm sure that Gretzky's revenue stream in the 90's was far more than the largest contract today.

Richards has a 13-year-deal for $5.5 a year (I believe)
