Toronto has had no shortage of stars come through town, but who's the one with the most money over the course of their career? Mats Sundin? Phil Kessel? Eric Lindros?

Over the course of his career, Thornton racked up an estimated $110,637,195, according to CapFriendly, the 12th most money in NHL history. But so far, Thornton is the only player with $100 million in career earnings to play for the Leafs, until John Tavares is set to join that club midway through next season.

Signing a $77 million, seven-year deal in Toronto back in 2018, Tavares will make $7.95 million over each of the next two seasons in salary, though his cap hit remains at $11 million even. He'll be just a few hundred thousand behind Thornton when it comes to career earnings at the end of his contract.
