How Much Money do NHL Players Really Make?

I thought this was an interesting look at what an NHL player actually takes home from these massive contracts we hear about all the time.

Chris Pronger – who played 20 years in the NHL – took to twitter and broke down where the money goes. They still make a lot of money, but not as much as you might think ends up in the bank.

(To give it a hometown spin, JT Miller of the Canucks makes $6M per season. Petey and Hughes make 4M.)

When you hear about X player making $30M over 5 years ($6M/yr) you think wow he made it. However that is not always the reality, in this thread I am going to break down how much they take home and where the rest of it goes.
