Too often, we hear about athletes who make rediculous amounts of money.  But the 11 players the Detroit Red Wings have already signed for next year have salaries that, quite frankly, are much lower than I expected them to be.  Especially Chris Chelios.

What they'll make for the 2006-2007 season:

• Pavel Datsyuk                   $3.9 million
• Robert Lang                      $3.8 million
• Mathieu Schneider             $3.3 million
• Henrik Zetterberg              $2.65 million
• Kris Draper                       $2.128 million
• Kirk Maltby                      $1.444 million
• Tomas Holmstrom             $1.368 million
• Mikael Samuelsson            $1.2 million
• Andreas Lilja                     $1 million
• Chris Chelios                     $850,000
• Niklas Kronwall                $840,000
