FILE - Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (29) attempts a shot during the second period of Game 3 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday, June 20, 2022, in Tampa, Fla. The Colorado Avalanche are making Nathan MacKinnon the highest-paid player in the NHL’s salary cap era. MacKinnon, who just turned 27 earlier this month, signed an eight-year contract that is worth $100.8 million, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022, because the team did not announce terms of the contract. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack, File)
