Kiszla: Joker and Russ got way richer contracts. But MacK has best deal in Denver.

In the new golden age of Denver sports, Nathan MacKinnon, Russell Wilson and Nikola Jokic are leading the gold rush.

We will remember 2022 as the year that the Big Three broke the bank.

With MacKinnon signing a contract extension with the Avalanche that makes him the highest-paid player in the NHL, he joins Wilson and Jokic with new megadeals worth more than $600 million combined.

Three superstars who make the Avs, Broncos and Nuggets worth watching are now worth more than a small country. And that’s no exaggeration: $600 million is more than the GNP of Dominica, a beautiful little island in the Caribbean.
