The Iconoclast said:You don't have a clue my friend. You are aware that all players who are over in Europe, save few in the RSL, are playing for expenses? All players are self insured, and are forced to insure the amount to cover their NHL contracts. That eats up pretty well all of what they are being paid. The players are making their "money" off of the per diem they get in Europe, which is a faction of what they get in per diem in North America. The players are not making money. Most of them would make more money off of the interest from their contracts. There is a reason why the majority of the big names are sitting at home working on their golf games. There is no money to be made in other leagues. I sure hope you go to court a little more prepared than you have walking into this forum. You've been crushed in each thread you've wandered into.
I won't even get into a flaming word with you, cause at the end of the day, I want the same thing as you. And that's to see the NHL up and running again. But I understand that those who can't debate, resort to personal flames to make their case more appealing to the public. So be it.
Anyway, the players playing over in Europe are still making a good living (tax free). And like I said before. The union members rather play in Europe, and play for less money, then to be smacked by the NHL with a Hard Cap.
Now, you can proceed with your flaming.
