Andrew Ladd situation [Mod: His next contract]

[HannuJ]

You have to remember, players only have a brief window to make money for themselves. Take at least 40% away from taxes, take 5% (or whatever) for your agent, you've got an accountant, and playing expenses, and money doesn't go as far as you would think.

And after they retire at 35 or whatever they need to have earned enough money to live the rest of their lives. They are also at increased risk for tons of different medical problems as they age.

In short: You gotta make that paper.

Pretty sure NHL players aren't paying 40% in taxes. If they are, they should fire their accountant

No bitterness towards Ladd.
Great player for the Jets when he was here
It’s his right to find the best contract possible
Jets got draft pick and prospect for him and save up cap space for new signings

even Enstrom's scored since then.
Toby Freakin' Enstrom!!!!

Sure, but Toby has only scored 1 goal in about his last 85 games played. Doesn't change what Ladd is(n't) doing. But just sayin.
