Their contracts were on par with the NBA in the 90s. Sakic made over $16 million in '97-98 and nobody makes that much 25 years later. Just a second rate pro sports league.After seeing that Ohtani contract, play hockey brehs. Idk how BOG think it’s a good look that salaries are that low compared to other majors sports.

Byfield needs his own thread. He's about to blowLooks like its gonna be a loss for the Habs, already 2-0 Kings. Quinton Byfield with a nice goal, used his size well to cut to the net.
Kings wearing silver helmets. They always had nice gear for as long as I can remember.

Lol it's crazy
Ohtani will be making in a year what probably the best 8;10 players are making combinrdn
Basically making an entire team's salary cap by himself.

Known for his eccentric personality on and off the ice, former NHL All-Star PK Subban has never been shy about standing out and defying the limitations of a hockey player.
And back in 2014, in the prime of his professional career, Subban got the call every Canadian player dreams of: the opportunity to represent Canada at the Olympics.
But the chance to win gold while donning the maple leaf came with an unexpected set of rules.
“When I made the Olympic team, I was told that I couldn’t celebrate if I scored a goal,” Subban explains in a CBC Gem documentary series called Black Life: Untold Stories. “That wasn’t the way that Canadians were supposed to conduct themselves.”
“Can someone show me the image of how a Canadian is supposed to act?” he asks rhetorically in a clip from the CBC doc shared to his personal X account.
Subban said experiences like that, along with countless others, helped him better understand the many ways in which Black athletes have been treated differently in Canada.
“When I think of all the other athletes throughout Canadian history, Black athletes that have excelled at a high level, I understand exactly what they’re going through,” the 34-year-old hockey analyst and philanthropist said.
He also detailed how the moment coincided with the peak of his playing career.
“You could argue that playing for Canada at the Olympics, in hockey, is the highest level of athletics you can reach as a Canadian,” Subban explained. “And that’s how I’m getting treated the year I’m winning a Norris Trophy as the best defenceman in the NHL.”
Throughout the sixth episode of the eight-part series, Subban shared multiple anecdotes about racism in hockey, including an ECHL incident from 2022 that saw his youngest brother Jordan fall victim to racist gestures from an opponent.
and that 16 mill in 97/98 is equivalent to like 30 mill inflation wise in 2023
