Over his hockey career he'll make in total approx $5+ million.  good for him.

Looks like he will have to fight Ryan Reeves in the battles of Ontario.

And that’s assuming he doesn’t stay on as a scout/coach of some sort too.

Despite what many think is a dying breed, the tough and physical players are still being sought after by some NHL teams. 

Many of the big names who possess offensive flash get all of the limelight, but the checkers, PKers and those who generally make life tougher for the opposition, rarely get the accolades they deserve. 

That's because the NHL has gotten so competitive now with so much skill that teams cannot afford to have one or two roster spots filled by guys who are not at least decent at playing the game. 

The enforcer IS a dying breed - replaced with guys who actually can pot some goals here and there but *also* fight and intimidate as well. Think: Players like Joshua are becoming the minimum requirement for tough guys. Zack managed to get his contract at the tail end of the era, where not all teams have adapted to "new school" yet - but I bet in 10 years, there will no longer be the Macewens, Reeves', or (current) Lucics in the game anymore.
