It's just that there is a talent drain from Canada to US hockey franchises, and while I have nothing against the players being paid a good sum for playing (you're right, it's a tough as nails sport), it's a shame that the Canadian teams suffer because of the ever-rising salaries being offered to the players in the bigger (richer) US cities.
