The Edmonton Oilers hold the most insane contract in the entire NHL
The Edmonton Oilers have managed to secure one of the most valuable contracts in the NHL many years ago, and the numbers back it up.
Out of the 11 players who surpassed the 100-point mark last season, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Oilers was the lone exception with an average annual value (AAV) of less than $6 million.
The Oilers have Nuge locked in at a $5.1M average until the 2029 season is over!!
Nugent-Hopkins' impressive performance included 37 goals, 67 assists, and a total of 104 points, all while averaging 19 minutes and 48 seconds of ice time and contributing in all game situations.
As a vital part of the Oilers' core, Nugent-Hopkins proves that value doesn't always come with a hefty price tag.
