His head would explode. I mean I guess it could still be a problem in his current position, he still collects them like goalie pucks.

It's a small sample and we've seen goalies get hot over small samples (the Hamburglar with Ottawa, among others), but curious to see what kind of offers he gets as a UFA. Does some team bring him in (for relatively cheap coin) and offer him a legit shot at a starting job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Pronger breaks down an example of a guy making 6M a year. No need to shed a tear, that's not my point in any way whatsoever. I always wondered what the take home was for a contract like that. You have to tag the replies to open up his full breakdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it was interesting until he started talking about how they have to pay rent, buy a car and pay for food. Like what fvcking world do you live in, everyone does that on a much, much smaller salary. Basically they do the same thing everyone else does with the exception of the escrow. The taxes are more because the earnings are more. And they play a game they love for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is asking for sympathy; Pronger is just pointing out that dudes may not be quite as well off as their salary or contract indicates. It’s all relative, of course.

You're not even taking into account that they have to pay for that giant house. Do you think they vaccume their own floors in that mansion or do their own yard work? They gotta pay for that too! Try having to hire a private chef... It's a nightmare to find the one that makes pancakes that look like a perfect Mickey Mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The 17k for nutrition per month was the one thing I could relate too. nah seriously just found the start with/end with #'s interesting. I'm pretty sure I could make it all work to play a game for a living. To be honest it's the minor league guys that get paid minor league money I have some sympathy for, guys that don't have an NHL deal, ECHL'ers etc. some of them truly play for the love of the game and nothing more.

Lol. Pay me 2 million clear per year for 6 years and that sh!t would let me the rest of my life and my daughter’s life, and beyond. i mean the fvcking guy mentioned having to buy food. Where do you think the rest of us get our food, b!tch??? Edited April 14, 2022 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 He could’ve stopped at the escrow, taxes, agent etc. and made his point. As soon as he started with “they need to buy a car and food” his statement lost all validity in my eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
