TORONTO - Seattle striker Clint Dempsey is the highest-paid player in Major League Soccer, according to the latest figures from the MLS Players Union. The former New England Revolution, Fulham and Tottenham forward is making US$5,038,566.50 with the Sounders this season. There are eight other millionaire-plus players in the league including three forwards with Canadian teams: Marco Di Vaio of the Montreal Impact ($1,937,508), Toronto FCs Danny Koevermans ($1,663,323.33), and Kenny Miller ($1,124,992) of the Vancouver Whitecaps. Other big-ticket players are Thierry Henry ($4,350,000) and Tim Cahill ($3,625,000) of the New York Red Bulls, Robbie Keane ($4,333,333.33) and Landon Donovan ($2,500,000) of the Los Angeles Galaxy and Obafemi Martins ($1,725,000) of the Seattle Sounders. Donovan signed a contract extension last month that is believed to put him in the Dempsey salary range from next season on. The top Canadian earner is attacking midfielder Dwayne de Rosario, whose salary at D.C. United is listed at $645,333.33. Canadian defender Dejan Jakovic makes $303,341.33 at D.C. United. Canadian international Will Johnson earns $243,750 as captain of the Portland Timbers. Spanish winger Alvaro Rey is on $204,450 with Toronto FC while captain Steven Caldwell is a bargain at $89,999,98. Mike Magee of the Chicago Fire is also great value at $191,666.67. With 16 goals, he stands tied for second in league scoring with Vancouvers Camilo Sanvezzo ($247,500) behind Di Vaio (18 goals). The salary figures do not tell the whole story since teams can use allocation money to "buy down" the cost of a player against the salary cap.

J.T. Miller, Marc Staal and Ryan McDonagh also lit the lamp for the Rangers, who kicked off a four-game road trip with their second straight victory. Derick Brassard and Rick Nash each added a pair of assists, while Henrik Lundqvist turned in a 29-save effort. You can tell that we had the jump tonight, said Lundqvist. Thats the way we have to play. Nick Bonino supplied the sole offense for the Canucks, losers of four in a row including the final three of a seven-game road trip. Ryan Miller was on the hook for all five goals on just 23 shots. I think you play a certain way and now were getting caught on it, said Canucks coach Willie Desjardins. We try to play an aggressive style and if it doesnt work it goes the other way. McDonagh got the ball rolling when he tapped in a Jesper Fast feed just 2:36 after the opening faceoff. Despite misfiring a 3-on-1 on the previous shift, the Rangers went up 2-0 as Martin St. Louis fed Miller for a backhander in front at 3:19. It was 3-0 for NNew York from yet another 3-on-1 break, as Nash crossed to Zuccarello for a successful wrister from the right circle at 6:46.dddddddddddd. Staals point drive sailed through traffic and eluded a screened Miller at 7:17 of the second period and the Rangers were up by four. St. Louis failed in his bid to increase the Blueshirts lead when he was awarded a penalty shot at 12:27 of the second period after being taken down by Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa. Zuccarello, however, struck once more, a tap in of a Brassard feed to make it 5-0 with 2:21 left before the second intermission. Bonino finally gave the Canucks some life at the 4:20 mark of the third period, and though the hosts pressured New York for several shifts thereafter, no more pucks slipped from the grasp of Lundqvist. He made 14 saves in the final 20 minutes. Game Notes The Rangers have beaten the Canucks five straight times overall and three times in Vancouver since January of 2011 ... Zuccarello notched his first multi-goal effort of the season ... Bieksa and fellow Canucks defenseman Luca Sbisa were a combined minus-7. ' ' '
