Except when Turek got it, he was made one of the 3 highest paid goalies in the league at the time. Nice guy, terrible contract for a 1B goalie at best.
On the AHL vs. European leagues... It's really hard to compare as the AHL is a developmental league. Some of the product is sacrificed in order to develop players for the NHL. No other league in the world produces and prepares players for the NHL as well as the AHL does.
Having said that, I have been watching more European hockey lately and the quality is really good. Even the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga is a decent product.
