All NHL players are paid in US dollars, no matter what country they’re from and even Canadian teams pay their players in US dollars. Seney may have exchange that money to Canadian dollars, and Bratt may exchanged his money to Swedish Krona and etc, but they are all originally paid in US currency.Or $1.25 million CANADIAN. Not bad for a CANADIAN kid who turned 25 less than 3 months ago
That probably happens for several reasons, including uniformity and because everything in the CBA is set to US dollars and the exchange rate fluctuates too much.
