Edmonton center Connor McDavid is earning $12.5 million this season. His right wing, Leon Draisaitl, is earning $8.5 million. The third member of the trio, Alex Chiasson, checks in at $650,000 and has become one of the league’s feel-good stories. Chiasson came to the Oilers’ training camp on a professional tryout and beat out a number of their top prospects to win a regular job, his fifth NHL stop. He has scored a career-best 15 goals, a rare example of getting more than you pay for.
