Emergency Goaltender Rules and Pay Should be Updated

[nshlphoenix]

If the emergency backup steps onto the ice, the owner of the team that uses him should personally owe him league minimum / 82. I can't imagine any reason whatsoever he should make any less.

It's also f*cking stupid that his contract specifically says "no other compensation is allowed" yet we're reading public stories about all the various ways the Canes are repaying him. Either enforce the rule or remove it.

Sounds like you are getting super triggered that someone else isn’t making money...

LOL.... EBUGs rarely play in a game... Why does all of this need to happen for such a rare circumstance?

McDavids been injured and Marchand hasn’t done anything stupid in awhile. It’s almost peak offseason lull at this point for dumb threads.

Frank seravilli TSN said it’ll probably be addressed in next gm meeting. 100k to each team for a 3rd goalie that travels with team and does supporting duties

league minimum is $650,000
per game is $7900

While it makes sense to have a better plan in place, it's funny that the league looks at one of the greatest stories in hockey and goes "we have to make sure this never happens again".

That being said, this was a fairy tale ending. I can only imagine what the story would be if he let in 10.

To me seems like its the fans here that are doing that. They are the ones making the fuss, which gets picked up by media, which then in turn press the NHL on it.

The NHL is 100% fine with the current way its been ... since its been done the current way for what.. decades now?

But look at the sudden uproar in this thread.

Because he won the game. If he got lit up and lost, this would have all been forgotten by the next day and no changes would be necessary. Everyone is just overreacting to a freak event. He's happy as a clam. Let's all just enjoy it with him.

If he got lit up and lost, we would see the rule change on monday . BTW, peopel said that all EBUGs who had played got some cash from the players / management team . With that, I say no need to change any EBUG rules.
