Mike Trout signs record $430M contract, $36M/year for 10 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/sports/mike-trout-contract-angels.html
Trout's annual salary is almost triple most NHL salary limits. He's undoubtedly earned it: Trout's stats - at his age - rival some all-time baseball greats. The Angels are right to lock him down now.
Could we ever see those numbers in hockey? I don't think Jaromir Jagr's best years came close to $36M (endorsements excluded).
