Contract: 8 years, $100 million
Looking at average annual value, Connor McDavid stands atop the all-time chart at $12.5 million.
And it's easy to believe he'd be worth more.
After consecutive 100-point years, he began playing under this contract in the 2018-19 season, his fourth in the league. McDavid has since registered 116, 97, 105 and 123 points, respectively, to establish himself as one of this generation's most prolific skaters.
