I suck at hockey, hell I can't even skate. I would die to be in the NHL too, but that just wouldn't be good for the fans, now would it? I can't believe you are comparing yourself and your friends to the elite players in the NHL. The reason why they get paid so well is because they are awesome players. Who would you rather give more money too? The owners, or the players who actually perform for us?

They bought out the WHA a few more times, i know Hartford was one of them, and yeah.

I wasnt comparing MY friends to the elite players of the NHL, i said i could find people who would do it for free. I never said i would do it and want to be paid. In all honesty, if i EVER ( un-bloody likely) play in the NHL, i will play for next to nothing. Whats the point of making craploads of money when your living your dream? And why would you need all that money anyways? Who knows, maybe im just jaded.
