While NHL players<\/a> might not make a great deal of money compared to other professional athletes — there are no $500 million contracts here — their salaries are still nothing to sneeze at. Making millions of dollars to play a children's game is a pretty sweet gig, and Connor Bedard<\/a> is about to get in on the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
