MapleLeafs 142 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If I were at the game, I would cheer him initially, then boo him every time he touched the puck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 They get season tickets (2) but they have to pay for them. Now that is gross. Business is business but charging your employees for tickets they may not want is crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yes, $250 per day. Paid in vanilla VISA cards. Does the nudity bar accept vanilla Visa cards? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Now that is gross. Business is business but charging your employees for tickets they may not want is crazy. I'm sure that was collectively bargained. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Now that is gross. Business is business but charging your employees for tickets they may not want is crazy. and if they don't charge them it's a taxable benefit so they pay anyway Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm sure that was collectively bargained. From team to team? I think visiting players got free tickets in Buffalo when they came to play (I could be wrong). I just remember when my buddy's cousin played in Buffalo he had quite a few family and friends come down. However in Toronto we paid for our tickets and saw him after the game. Not as many family/friends showed up. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 for sure as long as Devan has been in the NHL it has been 2 "free" tickets for each home game (yeah they pay for them but it's a sunk cost). They always have access to pretty much as many road and home tickets as they want within reason, but they pay full sticker price. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah that's the case. Remember two seasons tickets in Toronto have a value of about $16k and in the cba that would count as revenue if you gave them to the players. In Toronto they did have an arrangement where you could give back your season tickets but no one ever did. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I think the CBA prohibits any sort of "freebies" that weren't previously bargained. They're usually small, but you can probably imagine a scenario where a team could put together a "benefits" package that would help lower the cap hit. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Typical Penguin 2015 win. No contribution from top 3. Terrible PP( they got one though) solid goaltending. Good defence. Very impressed with Fleury. Link to post Share on other sites
