NHL Player Salaries
> Messier, Eric
The salaries listed were gathered primarily from the NHLPA website. Figures listed in newspapers and other publications were also included. Salaries prior to 1997 (and those I simply didn't have on my own) are from hockeyzoneplus.com.
Also note that 2-way contracts might be included with the NHL number.
