No, I dont think so.
I mean, those London figures are stupendous and even then, in the end, they dont wind up with much left over after taxes and thats cherry-picking stats from the most profitable club in it's best year.
Thats not to say that I disagree with paying players, I'm not really convinced of that one way or the other yet. I believe that they should probably get more than they currently are, but I also believe in the value of the educational opportunity they are afforded.
If they choose not to make full benefit of that opportunity then some of that responsibility has to rest with the player.
Does the CHL have a 'Revenue-sharing' program?
