Well yes but is your job going to leave you with long term debilitation? When you retire will you have post concussion syndrome and long term shoulder/back issues due to your job? Yes they make a lot of money but they pay a long term price with their bodies and IMO hockey and football players warrant all the money they get because they are putting their bodies on the line to entertain fans.
For the record I've never been a big Richards fan as IMO he's laid out some players in the past with vicious head shots but what the Kings are doing is scummy and borderline rule circumvention.
