NHL’s Top 10 Contracts of 2025: Which Stars Are Winning Big—and Who’s the Biggest Surprise?

Today, the only shock is what Hagel has become: one of the best wingers in hockey. Hagel’s rise since signing has been meteoric, culminating in a spot on Team Canada amidst a season where he scored 35 goals and 90 points while finishing top 10 in Selke voting. Hagel has become a star, doing most of his damage at five-on-five, where only two players scored more points than him last season: David Pastrnak and Nikita Kucherov. He’s the real deal.
Naturally, that kind of production and defensive utility is going to be worth a lot of money, enough to nearly double Hagel’s cap hit, given his age and the rising cap climate. It may still be a shock at how valuable Hagel has become, but there’s no denying he’s become an eight-figure player after last season. With seven years left on his deal, Hagel has one of the absolute best contracts in hockey.
