With all the talk of salaries and free agent signings there's a lot of noise being made about what impact rising salaries will have on the NHL and NHLPA.
Here's some good quotes:
'No, don't give us that much money.' Obviously, if they continue to raise the salaries, they must be making money."
and
You go with what people want," Damphousse said. "If you raise the prices and people go for it, you're okay. If people don't buy it, that's when you adjust. That's the limit"
These two quotes were taken from Vincent Damphousse of The Sharks.
And here's another opposing viewpoint by Brian Burke:
I know we can't support the salaries. I know that some of the teams who have spent that money are doing it without the financial capability to pay the money. I'm running my business like a business. I'm going head-to-head with people who are crazy as far as I'm concerned."
I know one of teams that spent crazy money lost $20 million last year," Burke said.
So i ask you, do you think the NHL is playing a destructive path of follow the leader with MLB?
Are we destined to go for another strike?
Should Gary Bettman be replaced with someone who knows what he's doing?
