Yup, people that dont play the game will never get it. Any player looks at the opposing lineup and knows who might hurt them. It’s a contact sport

As I said, I don't play the sport but I have always been more of a student of sports then a player.

The stat watching, non-hockey playing pussies will never understand this. Every team needs a Dorsett. He would garner a decent pick at the deadline because actual hockey ppl understand his worth

What about the one's who have played in competitive full contract leagues that don't mind him but think he's overpaid?

What about those that play in a beer league, but it's in New Zealand and have to watch the Canucks on poopty computers at work due to time differences, have a generally positive outlook on the team (because, sports!) and don't get too upset regardless?

Your opinion doesn't count unless you played hockey in Canada at any level in your life. If you have then you can consider yourself an expert.

Nucker....it’s fine to not like his contract but it’s not fine to not appreciate his worth

What is his worth though? Obviously it's more then minimum. Everybody else gets the 100k per point. Why not 4th liners?

Many players are overpaid, others are underpaid. In all walks of life. Jealousy doesn't suit nuckers complexion vey well... but it does match his cardigan.

Head athletic trainer for me.

OF COURSE! I need Houston to win tonight for $360. JJ Watt gets injuried.
