Depends where in Europe.

You can earn most money in KHL, Russia. Average pay is around 400-500k € per year and still growing drastically, also taxes aren't that high as for NHL players.

Next, Elitserien (Sweden), NLA (Switzerland), DEL (Germany) - about 250k €

SM-Liiga (Finland) somewhere around 200k and ELH (Czech Republic) around 150k. These pay the most.

Extraliga (Slovakia), EBEL (Austria) and some other league players can earn about 80-100k in average.

Both players re at the top of the payload in the leagues. The lowest paid players in the nfl make $285 000. The lowest players in the NHL make almost $500 000 a year.
