Recently, a social media post has gone viral comparing Gary Bettman's salary of $9.6 million per year to that of the best players in the NHL.
While Bettman's $9.6 would make him the 17th highest-paid player, the actual number is even worse. NHL players pay an escrow of 17.2% which means that of the players in the NHL only, Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews, and Artemi Panarin are the only players who make more than Bettman.
With Bettman being paid more than almost any other NHL player, there is a massive question about if he should take a pay cut. Bettman has been making $9.6 million since the 2014-15 season.
While Bettman has certainly grown the game, does he deserve to be compensated like he is?
