10. Ryan Getzlaf – $9.4 million earnings
Another Canadian professional, Ryan Getzlaf has played for the Anaheim Ducks since his career began in 2003.
Getzlaf was described by The Hockey News as “the complete package” and is praised for being a power forward with skills that make him a great all-rounder. He earns $9.4 million a year, and the Mighty Ducks consider him such an asset that his contract means he can’t move to another team.
