If you think about it NHL pro's make the least out of the top 4 pro sports leagues (nhl, nfl, mlb, nba)

The list of highest contract payout goes like this
1.MLB
2.NBA
3.NFL
4.NHL

Only the Crosby's & Ovechkins get absolute maximum with some exceptions being dumb GM's handing out silly contracts like Garth Snow.
Nhl is also the least watched sport out of the 4 primarily due to the fact Americans prefer the nfl, mlb and nba more than nhl.

Contract for 17 years is just stupid. No player is gonna see the end of his contract because he'll either get injured, bought out or traded.
