So top 5 earners make $250 million and next 25 break even...and there is NOTHING wrong with the current CBA.

Players don't want to take a 12.3% percent (57 to 50) cut in pay despite having received an 80% increase since the last CBA (that one they lost so badly...remember).

Average Joe has garnered an 11.5% increase over that same period (at least the 58% of those that have kept their jobs)

Players expect us to understand their "plight"... earth to Fehr come in Fehr ... reality check time boys.

Why not take the roll 12.3% roll back (netting an increase of 57.9% since the last CBA) and get back on the ice where they actually DO contribute to the well being of the sport AND their wallets.

All this list proves is that without these billionaires there is no place for these players to play and earn these crazy numbers.

1.8 billion vs 250 million

There is an unending supply of players who will play professional hockey...the same cannot be said for billionaries willing to bankroll it.

He is talking about tax "burden", which is a relation between taxes, income, unemployment and some poop

not the tax rates i guess

Quebecs tax burden this year was 6% or so.

did here too for a bit earlier

Enough BS....where is the meter?

Personally I think we need more pissing matches on who has the most and the best fans as well as tax burden and my town is tougher to live in than your town talk.

Go

Does Quebec have a team ?

No they dont so what do they even have to do with what we pay in taxes here ? But just for kicks...

What is the unemployment rate in Quebec ? I'll tell ya 7.7 as opposed to nearly 10 % here in NY.

The tax burden here in NY is 12.8% While the highest it has ever gotten in Quebec is 9.8 % .

Not that any of this matters anyway but there it is.

Please dont compare oranges to New York state empire apples . There is a reason there is a song called "New York New York" by old Frankie blue eyes. And one of the most famous lines in that song that EVERYONE , probably even including you know is ' if I can make it there I'll make it ANYWHERE' ! Not Quebec.
