While players like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh are all making more than $17 million this season, all the players in the NHL Finals are making less than $5 million this season.

In fact, the highest-paid player on either team hasn't played since the 2010-11 season. Marc Savard of the Bruins was paid $6.5 million this season. However, because of post-concussion syndrome, it is believed that Savard will never play again.
