Jagr #1 All-time NHL Salary Earner

Brian Costello at The Hockey News gives this top 10 list of active players who have earned the most since former union head Bob Goodenow introduced salary disclosure in 1990...

10. Peter Forsberg, $65.4 million
9. Chris Pronger, $66.2 million
8. Mike Modano, $70.1 million
7. Paul Kariya, $70.7 million
6. Rob Blake, $72.0 million
5. Nicklas Lidstrom, $73.1 million
4. Keith Tkachuk, $73.7 million
3. Mats Sundin, $74.0 million
2. Joe Sakic, $87.2 million
1. Jaromir Jagr, $98.0 million

...while every Washington Capitals fan would say he's overpaid, I think Jagr deserves to be number one on that list.
