He earns $762,500 per year.

As for Sanford, he is 29 years old and a power forward standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds. Drafted in the 2nd round in 2013, he has accumulated 103 points in 331 career NHL games (49 goals).

Sanford won the Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019. He earns $800,000 per year.
