What do you mean? Players and owners weren't able to decide on a new CBA so there's a lockout.

Players are asking for too much money, and owners are hiding too much money. Sad to see no NHL this year, though.

On the bright side, half those southern teams that should never have gotten teams *cough*Florida*cough* will probably be let go...

Thats only true in some cases, sadly. There are numerous players who are making a fraction of what they should be. The owners are spending far too much on only the big name players, while the lesser known players are carting in under a million.

Keep in mind that the players have to supply money for their own physical training, therapy and health. The team only provides equipment and transportation. Thats one reason for the high wages.

Another misconception. Yes, they do make a lot, but keep in mind that they are also in a horrible tax bracket. Most of them are just above a two-income family. The superstars, of course though, are living fine. They could do with less money, and still live well.

@Sean....Yep....even with league average at around 1.7 million(?) there are a lot of players who are under the 1 million barrier (it balances out with those above)

@Aegis...Agreed...depth players don't make nearly as much as the superstars do...although I do wonder how Bertuzzi's pay is working out for him
