Report: Brendan Shanahan earns $2.5 million per season from MLSE

With Brendan Shanahan in the fold, the Toronto Maple Leafs' executive team may just earn enough money to qualify for the CBA's salary floor. 

Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun reported Saturday that the newly-minted president's contract with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is worth $2.5 million per season over five years.

It's hard to quantify Shanahan's worth - but it's easy to compare. 

He will haul in more than half of the team's forwards, nearly three times as much as Morgan Rielly, and just $400K less than Jonathan Bernier next season.
