Some Hockey Players Not Experiencing The Tough Economic Times

from Jim Kelley at Sports Illustrated,
Tough times, maybe, but you can’t compare NHL life to an auto worker’s, especially if you’re talking salaries in Detroit. So, haven’t owners and GMs learned anything, especially that there’s a porven fall-off in production and play from players who score big money in the free-agent derby?
In a word: No.
The lure of easy money is certainly attractive to the players, and it seems to be something that owners sign off on as easily as a ticket price hike, but there’s a downside, and it seems to be at the expense of the second-, third- and even fourth-line players, the ones who can help a team win, but don’t share in the glory or wealth of their more expensive brothers.
Take for instance the case of Dominic Moore.
