Rick Nash injured his shoulder in Swiss game. His agent, Joe Resnick says he was taken out of game and will be re-evaluated in a cpl days.

Im sure he wont be the last to get hurt playing over seas. Greedy bastards, looks good on them.

Maybe this'll have the owners wanting to come to terms quickly, while their players are still healthy.

has nothing to do with greed... not a thing.

i wouldn't say greedy, but bad karma. he's a multi-millionaire who wants to keep fit so is taking someone else's job.

and then he will leave immediately once the lockout is resolved.

Boy I'll be pissed if I lose a guy like Nash in regular season games because of Swiss-league games.

Ya, they are playing in Europe to keep in shape. Thats why they are playing for free. Oh wait, they are getting paid?

The rich NHL skilled players play in Europe while the "lesser-skilled" guys stay here and support the union and their strike cause. No pay cheque for them though nor for the guys who lose their jobs in Europe while NHL players take their roster spot.

You keep believing what you want and I will do the same. I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

if you see what these guys are getting paid, well, they aren't getting rich.
deduct living expenses and the insanely high priced cost of insurance and it becomes quite evident that they aren't heading overseas to collect a paycheck.
so you can go on being wrong all by yourself, thank you...

hey axe,
check this article out...
no hard numbers, but it repeats the same message: the players are heading overseas to play because it keeps them sharp and in game shape, it beats sitting around at home on their butts, it can be a great life experience to head overseas and try something new, and because it slaps the nhl ownership group in the face... other than the few high profile russian superstars who went home to play, most of these guys are not cashing in. fact is, other than the khl, most of the leagues can't afford to hand out multiple big money contracts...

I bet they are getting some Swiss female action though!!
