Yeah, my wife's step-brother played in the AHL before playing pro in Germany and Italy, and he has stated a lot of the same things. He said the teams really treat the players well and he was pretty much able to save all his earnings. Like here, there is also the opportunity to make money from sponsors. Someone like Matthew Phillips might not get sponsors at the NHL level, but he might somewhere like Germany. He got a deal with one of the German automobile companies and made extra money doing that.
