But yes, at that level you are living a life of extreme luxury, so also getting to choose the location of your workplace doesn't seem like something that should be guaranteed. In the case of NHL players, the league minimum is $750k... after escrow & taxes it's substantially lower than that, but still in the several hundreds of thousands. And the potential locations that players can be moved to is limited to 32 North American cities.

I do think the level of NMCs/NTCs are having an adverse effect on NHL hockey. Solutions seen in other major sports leagues might be worth taking a look at.
$100,000 in take home pay is miles away from “extreme luxury”.
