The NHL once again has a new highest-paid player this season.
And once again, his reign will be short-lived.
The top-paid player for 2025-26 is Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl, who will average $14 million in the eight-year, $112 million contract extension he signed in 2024.
But he will be passed next season by Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov, whose eight-year, $136 million extension kicks in during 2026-27. The total amount and $17 million cap hit are NHL records.
The highest-paid player title has changed for three seasons in a row. Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon ($12.6 million) topped Edmonton's Connor McDavid ($12.5 million) in 2023-24. Toronto's Auston Matthews ($13.25 million) passed MacKinnon last season, and Draisaitl topped Matthews.
Kaprizov could remain at top for a while. McDavid was expected to regain the title, but he signed a two-year extension with a team-friendly $12.5 million cap hit, his current average.
Here's a look at the highest-paid players for the 2025-26 season (figures are from puckpedia.com):
