Report: KHL may ask players to take pay cut

2009-01-06 22:50:00

According to a report from Sportsnet.ca, the Kontinental League may ask its players to take a pay cut in light of falling commodity prices that have hurt the league's financial backers.

The story refers to an NHL player agent who says none of the players he represents have been formally asked to take a pay cut, but he is aware of the money issues the league is facing.

Another agent is quoted as saying, "in my opinion, asking for a pay cut would definitely be a breach of contract."

I hope the NHL is not foolish enough to take any of these deserters back. Let the new kids(who didn't desert) take their place on the rosters. If the NHL is stupid enough to let them back in, they should have to come back at entry level contracts for 3 years.

I bet that is Radulov's agent saying that. No way would he be part of any breach of contract.
