well, the salaries have to be kept in check, because they play under a salary cap, which is 15 mil I believe.
The irony that a reporter from ESPN pointed out is that NHL players are going to be signing with teams in a 2nd rate league, which has a hard salary cap, making a fraction of what they make in the NHL, so that they can convince the NHL to continue operating without a salary cap, which would hinder the vast amounts of cash that they already make playing in the top league in the world. The logic of this completely escapes me, but it seems a bit hypocritical and self-destructive to me.
