These guys are taking it on the chin. NHLPA could care less, as long as the top echelon players get theirs.

It sucks that there’s no NHL but to act like he can’t play in a European country is absurd.

Either way, I agree with both Barch and Falk (if that’s possible), it’s unfortunate and they do run the risk of becoming carnage.

It’s ok though – Bettman still doesn’t care. Nor does Falk’s boss.

I like how everyone talks about “screw the NHL the players can play in Europe” but there are a lot of guys like Falk who don’t have that oppurtunity. And the so called stars are taking jobs away from European players.

If this season is lost Falk probably doesn’t come back to the NHL or loses about 20% of his hockey career earnings. Hopefully the lock out ends

He’s dead on. The bubble players… the guys who can’t just go over to Europe and steal someone elses job are the guys who are really getting screwed here.
