So, that’s 3 pages of player who will likely never play another game because of this lockout and have lost anywhere from 500K to 5 million.


Does that sound worth it to you?

What exactly are the players saving?

Who do you think will lose their job when the puck finally does drop (presuming it’s 13/14)?



That’s a wrap
