Interesting Stats

As you all know I am a huge sports nut especially hockey. I subscribe to many sports magazines and my home page is six different sports websites. So while I was scanning them I found something very interesting. The top NHL players will make more money than top NFL players. True T.O., Brady, and L.T.(Look 'em up you scruffy headed nerfherders) do make more money. The average top-tier NHLer will make more money. Why? Due to the recent Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in the NHL players can not have options and can not sign extensions unless in the last year of a multi-year contract or a one-year contract after Jan 1. This allows players to build up stats and sign multiple contracts for decent amounts of money or a long term contract for great money. That is even with a 24% rollback in salary maximum. So how does Daniel Alfredsson, no you don't know who he is, what about Jaromir Jagr, still no? ah fuck it. The top three salaries in the NHL are Danny Briere, C Phily, Thomas Vanek, LW and Scotty Gomez C Rangers, all worth 10 million this year. Same as T.O. Again why?

KEY RIGHT HERE
Football team has 50+ members who play 16 games and and a max of 4 playoff games while NHLers play 82 games with a minimum of four playoff games and a max of 28 and a max roster of 23. So next time you look at T.O.'s 10 million dollar dance think about the NHLer who works for that money or Ottawa Captain DannyAlfredsson who lost 14 million dollars because he saved the game he loved by agreeing to the new CBA.


GO WATCH SOME HOCKEY T.O.!!!!!!!!!
