Report: Nathan MacKinnon could be made highest-paid player in the NHL

Nathan MacKinnon. Speed of a thunderbird, the strength of a thousand men, who is as skillful as a brain surgeon. What else can you say to describe the man who has been arguably the best player in the league and fan-favorite in Colorado?

The Mack-Attack will likely be back with the Colorado Avalanche and have a fancy amount of money in his pocket to go with it after his current deal expires at the end of next season.

On Thursday, Elliotte Friedman in his “32 Thoughts Podcast” suggested that MacKinnon may become the highest-paid player in the NHL, surpassing the current $12.
