futurcorerock said:Good for him.... But he's missing the point that the guys want to be in games to be conditioned.
He knows he's going to get beat down by Chelios whenever they play, right?
Don't worry, I've already done that.pkwjr said:How come all the anti NHLPA people here are not knocking NHLers who went to Sweden, Russia and other areas to play?

Oh, that's cool then.futurcorerock said:They aren't reading between the lines.
Chelly didnt wake up two weeks ago in a dank apartment and say "Shiat! I dont have anymore beer money... time to get a job"
They are doing it strictly for conditioning. Being paid is ok but they know this lockout won't last forever. They'll be getting their "real" paycheck... so just see this as a summer job.

so... Steal away, chelly?
DuklaNation said:A lot of those guys in the low minor leagues are a lot tougher and dirtier than any NHLer could ever hope to be. If anything those 3 Red Wing players should be extra cautious. There will be a lot of animosity towards them.

It's not like he might be taking away some guys job who relies on playing hockey as his only means to support a wife, two kids and a mortgage.
Steal away, Chelly.

''The hypocrisy of it is unbelievable. They don't want a salary cap, but they'll come to a league that has a salary cap and take someone else's job.
I make $700 a week, and I have a wife and two kids and a mortgage payment. Here I wish I could play in the NHL for a fraction of what they make, and here they're going to come play in our league for $500 a week. It's really bizarre.
I don't think those guys have ever wondered about working a day in their life. They probably make more in a week than I do my whole season.''
:lol
Wake up NHLPA.

Well lets hope he and all the other minor leaguers get a chance to replace the NHLers next season, then we can see all the NHLPA hypocrites bÃtch and moan about people taking their jobs.Newsguyone said:And if Kevin Kerr could make the NHL and take another guy's job, he'd do it in a heartbeat
getnziggywidit said:Link?
How did they add three players (who don't belong at that level and don't need that money) without replacing three players?
Are there not three players in the world who belong at that level that would love to have those spots and earn money to support themselves and their families?
Mechanics management said the team had three roster spots available, and no players will be released.

JWI19 said:Not one players from the motor city Mechanic has lost their job because these 3 signed. Thats was part of the deal. So it's a moot point but still you people love to piss and moan about it.
Don't use logic, it's gonna hurt their heads.windowlicker said:But more than a few will see their ice time drastically reduced, leading to less playing time, less production, less time to prove ones self. Could have an impact in future contract negotiations.
