How about a little common sense?TSN has a nice report on Hockey legend Guy Lafleur and his thoughts on the lockout. While I disagree that the NHL needs to start over, much of what he has to say makes a ton of sense:
I don't know how much Guy made in his career but I guarantee you that a third line skater makes more than he did, probably even with inflation figured in.
Lafleur said he can't understand why so many NHL players - 231 as of Wednesday - are skating in Europe for a couple of hundred thousand dollars and won't play at home for a couple of million dollars. Last year's league average salary in the NHL was $1.8 million US.
