If Hirsche didnt take the Import spot...another minor-leaguer would have.
What fans are pissed about is that NHL Players flocked to Europe by the bus load to take part-time jobs while their "union" is trying to make sure they still make 1.8 million a year.
I think it is you who is mising the point. We are not talking about taking the import spot, we are talking about taking the roster spot. Hirsch did take somebody elses job, there is no way around it, because somebody must've been doing that job before he came. And while we are arguing about it, Hirsch has gone to German league. Taking somebody's job, I am sure.
The thing is, the total number of hockey jobs in the world has gone down by 720, because the NHL has closed its shop. That naturally has increased the competition for the jobs that are out there. Global economy, eh?
