Whoop-de-frickin'-do. You don't like it? Go be an accountant or a lawyer or a ditch-digger.
Do we REALLY have to baby everyone now and mollycoddle them so they "feel good" about making millions playing a child's game?
When it's MY hard-earned money that is playing people to perform (and it HAS been in various businesses) I'm not going to stint on being demanding. There are LOADS of others pining to have a decent job. But the guaranteed contract, once signed, doesn't entitle you to anything other than money.

Thanks...I'll go crawl back in my cave now.  |
No come out of your cave. I want to hear more how we allow adults to have temper tantrums in Sports but any other industry that wouldn't be tolerated.
Also why don't folks every target ownership when it comes to salaries? Some players make more money in a year than I will see in my lifetime. But they are workers in an industry that makes even more money, exponentially, than they do. They are very litter putting their bodies and long term health on the line. If you look at the history of the NHL for a long, long, time these players were exploited by ownership and any organizing the Players tried to do was union busted by Ownership until the latter half of the last century. Hell, they couldn't even call their union a union because of Red Baiting.
Anyway it's not your hard-earned money you're playing for the players. It's CSEC's money. You're paying CSEC for a product. Do you consider that you pay Keanu Reeves salary because you went to see John Wick 4? Consumer Choice is an option, and by all means vote with your dollars. But let's not pretend that your ticket sale is directly paying for Kadri's salary.
Call me a piss baby socialist or whatever but I just think all worker should have the safest working environment. *shrugs*
If we talk about wanting hockey culture to change and grow, these are the conversations we should be having.
