    As many as 250 locked-out NHL players, many with million-dollarcontracts, have scattered across Europe to play in national hockey leagues. Some 30 NHL players are skating in the U.S minor leagues. They are all getting paid a fraction of what they'd earn in the NHL.

    The most lucrative of the European leagues is the Russian Super League, where the best players command as much as $3 million per season. Elsewhere on the Continent stars play for $300,000 a year. In the U.S. minors it's much worse. Players get as little as $500 a week.

    Did you know that Forbes said that the Predators made it to the 2nd round? To quote The Hockey News, "That may come as a surprise to Detroit fans." [​IMG]

    Our area papers have switched to covering the minors (AHL and ECHL) but mainly just the stats, not much game coverage.

    A look at the NHL lockout through Saturday, Dec. 18:

    TOTAL DAYS OF LOCKOUT: 94.
    TOTAL DAYS OF SEASON MISSED: 67.
    TOTAL GAMES MISSED: 449.

    NEGOTIATIONS: The NHL rejected a players' association proposal and had its own counteroffer turned down during a 31/2-hour session on Dec. 14.

    No new talks are scheduled.
