In the same week the NHLPA sends a huge congrats to Thomas Griess for a great career in the NHL and the great job he did representing Germany. Griess was banned from playing for Germany internationally by Germany for his weird obsession with Nazi Germany.

I may not be a calculator, but I'm pretty sure 1 million is actually 1/5,200th of their annual gross revenue.
