Here is some information that will undoubtedly get the blood boiling of the usual horde who would not recognize executive talent if it slapped them upside the head:
http://sportsbusinessjournal.com/in...ticle.main&articleId=55422&requestTimeout=900
Bettman's salary in the year ending July 2005 was $5.9 million. Daly made $2.78 million. Bettman's salary was nevertheless less than half that of Tagliabue and Selig.
Of note as well is the fact that NHL teams pay approximately $1.6 million in dues to the NHL (this number would have to be figured into any Winnipeg discussion, but THIS IS NOT A WINNIPEG THREAD, SO STAY AWAY FROM THAT STUFF PLEASE).
Query whether this info puts Saskin's allegedly exorbitant salary demands into context. Saskin was actually low in his representations to the PA regarding the salaries of Bettman and Daly.
