Patrick Kane is joining the Detroit Red Wings on a one-year. $2.75 million deal as he continues his NHL career. The veteran winger became a free agent this summer, but delayed his signing after undergoing off-season hip surgery.
Good to see Detroit becoming a free agent destination again!
I’d be inclined to agree but they are only getting paid their dues based on how much the sport makes. There are far more people that do very little for their money within the NHL.
Oh yeah I totally realize that. The ones who really rake it in probably do the least amount of work in most franchises. Still I think that packaging athletes as commodities who can be bought off for millions is kind of anti-sportsmanlike in some ways.
