Bobby Hull \n\n1971-72 season\nHull's deal was worth $2.75 million over ten years, with $1 million of that paid up front. So Hull qualifies as the first guy to make $1 million in a single year. No NHL salary came close to $1 million a year back then.

Sorry Billy you are wrong... \n\nEven if we count the entire 89-90 season for Lemieux has got a total of 838 points in the '80 (don't forget he only start in the 84-85 season.\n\nThe right answer is... Peter Stastny. When he was trade to the New Jersey Devils in 1989 Peter had already 1048 points in the '80. He is the second player the get the 1000 point during a decade.

If you meant "payer" - then I'd say George Steinbrenner.  The NY Yankees have the highest salary of any professional sports team.\n\nIf you meant "player" - then I'd say Bo Jackson.  He excelled in two sports - baseball and football.  Unfortunately, his career was cut short by a hip injury sustained while running a sweep as a RB for the Raiders.

The winner is selected in a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association at the end of the regular season. \nFrom 1936-37 until his death in 1943, Frank Calder, NHL President, bought a trophy each year to be given permanently to the outstanding rookie. After Calder's death, the NHL presented the Calder Memorial Trophy in his memory and the trophy is to be kept in perpetuity. \n\nTo be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league.

I think that it has to be Jaromir Jagr. In my opinion he is the sole reason that the Rangers turned the loosing around. There have been a lot of high dollar players that have come and gone on that team without making much of a difference...I would never have thought that Jagr had it in him, but there is no doubt in my mind that his mentality has changed for the better...
