The Iconoclast said:Because they are unrealistic. YOU don't get to cash-in after one year of success. Only through many years of success do you get a chance to make big big dollars like these clowns, er NHL players do. Also, when you screw up, and have a bad year, you lose your job and a lot of the money and benefits that go with it. The NHL players don't have to worry about this. One good year is all it takes then they can coast through the rest of their career, knowing it is very unlikely they will every have to take a backward step in earning potential. Its an unrealistic market that needs to be fixed.
The difference between NHL players and the rest of us is there careers begin when they are in grade school. By the age of 15 these kids have agents, nutritionists and personal trainers. By the time these guys are 25 and making good money they have been in there career for over 10 years.
