#players salaries

[grantmentis]

I’ve said it before but so much of the current salary structure and cba was designed like no one thought about how it would effect things after the first season and now we’re seeing them try to fix it which fine but like at least be transparent about it

Was listening to 32 Thoughts and a really interesting point about salary negotiations was brought up. If you take a pay cut and sign a “team friendly deal”, that can be seen as screwing other guys in the league over. Because it’s used against them by teams in their negotiations. So, when agents are negotiating deals for their players, there’s not only the component of what is good for the individual player vs the team but also what’s good for the nhlpa, which is a union. Friedman brought up that he actually will sometimes get that same thing brought up when he’s negotiating deals as a broadcaster. Other people in the industry have asked him not to compromise and take lesser deals because that also compresses their potential wages.

I'll never be against an athlete choosing the job with the higher salary (hello, tons of regular people do that every day, I might do it myself one day if offered the chance) but I'll be honest, when the lesser offer is still a 7 numbers figure, I'm not going to think that that offer is a bad one.

idk i just hope the tournament organizers see this (and tbh probably inevitably rome also) as a real wakeup call as to how scheduling goes and how they need to give them a goddamn break. i honestly doubt it because i do not think any organizers really give a shit about the actual players (otherwise this would probably not have happened tbh) but i hope they get it together

it's not a want anymore it's a need

[fereldanwench]

i've been considering resuming job hunting again but i think I'm still, like, traumatized from what i went through in 2021 lmao

nrg and acend have left apex within the same week because apex is being kept unprofitable by EA. really fucked

[agnesandhilda]

these guys are on the same team and they're sabotaging each other like this I'm gonna lose it. my man you sink or swim together you benefit no matter who scores the point

[reformedmercymain]

Seeing this on Twitter is making me laugh because at the highest level competitive overwatch pro players are considering retiring after Stockholm this year because the meta is so fucking painful 💀

[grantmentis]

Wish we had salary information it make trades make way more sense

[the-physicality]

Knight is also making the most money (most likely) so you need her producing, versus a younger play who is closer to the average or minimum salary

If she was smart she would be open to renegotiating

[sergeifyodorov]

in fairness the reason for stating that the draft should be abolished is players' labour rights which is kind of fair however there are ways to improve players' rights that also are like. good for the long-term health of the league lmao

[muirneach]

few good things abt the tennis payscale but one enjoyable thing is that theres no contracts

[normalgoalie]

I know I shouldn’t talk as someone who’s only been watching the phf/nwhl since the 2019-20 season but I’ve been skeptical of the pwhpa since the beginning and this just kinda proves to me that their intentions were never about what’s good for North American women’s hockey as a whole, just what’s good for themselves

[badger-bear]

Does anyone know if the players who won prizes at all star weekend donated what they won?

[lauriel816]

After assessing the latest transfer news I’m now convinced that Tuchel is the mole Dortmund planted to smash us from the inside
