Oh please... I knew someone was going to come up with this lame excuse. Lets see, I could squeak by on say $200k it would be tough, but I could do it.. then invest a quarter of a mil a year for five years. Maybe even take some of that $200,000 and get an education knowing that I was on the bubble of a successful pro career.
This really puts how much any of them care about the fans or employees making normal people wages. "Oh well, I guess I'll go play in Europe since there is nothing going on here." Have unions gotten to the point that the members have no say other than yea or nay following their fearless leaders negotiations? They give lip service knowing that they really have nothing to lose. One day both sides will realize that the fragile NHL was not all that important to the fans.. there is a lot of good hockey around town and I'm missing the NHL less and less.
Ya give this chump another ("Charity") year to play in his home town and this is what you get. T.S Mikey, stay out of Motown we didn't need you in the first place!
You should see his frown.
