    Maybe this'll have the owners wanting to come to terms quickly, while their players are still healthy.

    i wouldn't say greedy, but bad karma. he's a multi-millionaire who wants to keep fit so is taking someone else's job.

    and then he will leave immediately once the lockout is resolved.

    Ya, they are playing in Europe to keep in shape. Thats why they are playing for free. Oh wait, they are getting paid?

    The rich NHL skilled players play in Europe while the "lesser-skilled" guys stay here and support the union and their strike cause. No pay cheque for them though nor for the guys who lose their jobs in Europe while NHL players take their roster spot.

    You keep believing what you want and I will do the same. I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

    if you see what these guys are getting paid, well, they aren't getting rich.
    deduct living expenses and the insanely high priced cost of insurance and it becomes quite evident that they aren't heading overseas to collect a paycheck.
    so you can go on being wrong all by yourself, thank you...

    hey axe,
    check this article out...
    no hard numbers, but it repeats the same message: the players are heading overseas to play because it keeps them sharp and in game shape, it beats sitting around at home on their butts, it can be a great life experience to head overseas and try something new, and because it slaps the nhl ownership group in the face... other than the few high profile russian superstars who went home to play, most of these guys are not cashing in. fact is, other than the khl, most of the leagues can't afford to hand out multiple big money contracts...

    A major beneficiary of this has been the Kontinental Hockey League. The rules of singing a contract with the KHL change during an NHL lockout; players still under NHL contract are permitted to sign there for no more than 65% of what they would be paid under their existing contracts, and the KHL must provide them a “get-out” clause in the event that the NHL lockout is resolved while they are playing overseas. This allows them to still earn millions of dollars and play in a professional league while the NHL is out of session–not a bad deal by any means.

    Saying that the leagues have limited spots.

    Theres no question that SOME(Few?) will make more $$$ but not close to their NHL salary. But for the majority it is definitely limited.

    Saying that Axe makes a very good point.

    The rich NHL skilled players play in Europe while the "lesser-skilled" guys stay here and support the union and their strike cause. No pay cheque for them though nor for the guys who lose their jobs in Europe while NHL players take their roster spot.

    So true. What a sad world we live in.

    I don't like that the players take away a spot from a lesser skilled player on a foreign team only to bail out to the NHL immediately when a deal is reached.

    Either commit a full season in the foreign league, or do not participate in the games (or atleast do not play top line minutes), but only in the training sessions to keep in shape.
