In 2017, he allegedly agreed to a three-year, $9.3 million contract with the Ottawa Senators. Jean earns an average of $3,100,000 each year, whereas Pageau has earned a total of $8,725,390 over his NHL career. Dion Phaneuf, who makes a yearly average salary of roughly $7 million, is also among the Senators' highest-paid players. He has two more years left on his contract at $4.5 million per season. However, the Sens may want to consider moving on from this relationship before it starts because according to reports, JG isn't happy being paid like a third-line center. He wants to be paid like a top-six forward so he can contribute more than just goals (which he's been doing since coming into the league). It looks like there will be some changes made in Ottawa this summer because the team doesn't seem ready to give JG what he wants. Perhaps they'll try to move him before he causes any more problems.
