If a player earning the NHL minimum of $700,000 is spending most of his salary on living expenses, then what happens if he gets sent down to the AHL where he gets $75,000? Does he live in a cardboard box and beg on street corners?
For reference, $75,000 USD is more than the median household income in Canada according to the last released figures, which were pre-Covid. I guess most Canadians who are not hockey players are living in holes in the road, and take turns sleeping under a flap of the poor AHL player's cardboard box one night a week.
