Hockey salaries were out of control, prior to the NHL lockout, and the resulting agreement.

During that time, four players were earning $11 million plus per season – not counting Sakic and Fedorov, who had higher front-loaded contracts.

They were: Mario Lemieux, Peter Forsberg, Keith Tkachuk, and Jaromir Jagr (three seasons).

Name the highest paid NHL player, never to play in an All-Star game, or win a Stanley Cup.

Chris Gratton

Bobby Clarke, and the Philadelphia Flyers, signed Gratton to a $10,150,000 contract for the 1997-98 season.
