Large font, random question, The upside down pic tops it off.

Let's all at least try and be polite to our newer users.
There's plenty of people who think they know exactly what players are on, but probably don't. You also have to factor in the other expenses that are paid by the club. Janssen said earlier in the year when all things are considered his wages weren't dissimilar to what he made in the AHL I think.

A run of the mill AHL player doesn't earn a great deal especially after the taxes and medical care they have to pay.

I think our most expensive was Gallant at about 1k a week, I'm still sceptical about that information but at the same time wouldn't surprise me at all. But in general terms imports have benefits to the job rather than actual income. What they receive may as well be classed as expendable income from the get go, the club do pay out a decent amount for players in a way.

Wasn't there a wage cap for the team? So from that you could roughly work out a top earner compared to a bottom end earner.

Depends on import or Brit.
I won't mention the name but from what I know, the club pays for his parents mortgage which allow him to live rent free, paid for a decent suit and gives expenses for eating/drinking while at home and/or away matches. I've never really asked or wanted to ask the actual wages but I can guarantee for this specific player it isn't much because they pay for generally everything he needs money for anyway.
Janssen on the other hand, probably a lot more? Surely the only people who know that information won't be on this forum anyway.

Like many NHLers who come over to Europe post a decent stint in the show they often play for average rates just for the love of the game. It depends how much they've saved I guess.

I have no idea what players get. I'm fairly certain, as said above that players have to pay for very little in terms of living costs. House, Car, Bills etc pretty much all covered by the club. The majority, if not all of the wages they get is theirs to do as they please. If you were to guess an average/decent import was getting £500 per week. After paying tax that money is all disposable income. It has also been known for the odd players wife to be employed by the club too. These are all reasons it's near impossible to enforce a wage cap without the power a league like the NHL would have to monitor these things.

The top earner around £1000 per week,two or three others £700 - £900 and the others anywhere between £400 - £700 per week. You would be very surprised how little some of them earn,especially when they first come over,we have had imports on as little as £200 -£300 per week.
Have a look at the East Coast league (ECHL) wages where a lot of our guys have played,their cap is only about £9k per week and that has to cover at least 20 ish players. Work that average out !
Over here they have it made compared to minor league hockey in Canada with long bus trips for days on end. Here they get their house paid,car paid,all they have to pay is basically petrol,phone,food and drink and they sleep in their own bed virtually every night too,apart from the odd Belfast or Scotland trip.

Iginla's post is the best summary so far. But it's very generalised, as salaries aren't published. I was told (by someone I'd expect to tell me the truth) a couple of years back that Panthers' (and the league's) top earner was on £3k+ a week, and no-one else in the EIHL was above £1500. An average player in the EIHL would earn probably (if you were to ask me for a number) £700-£800 a week, the best a bit more, the younger/not so experienced a bit less.
Janssen's 14-15 AHL salary was $115k, according to capfriendly.com. The ECHL weekly salary cap for 15/16 was $12,400 between 20 players. $620 on average each.
As Iginla says, compared to the NA minors, European hockey has quite a few positives.

Who the heck was on three grand a week? Nobody would be on anywhere near £3k per week in the EIHL,even in the Superleague days,other than possibly an odd one or two they wouldn't get that. The one who used to be the top EIHL earner for a good while was Brad Voth. Last season,i would say the top earners would be Roy,Fretter,Walser,Kolnik,Moran,Oconnor and Dowd.

Don't quote me but pretty sure Shayne Mccosh was on a huge chunk in the 2000/1 season. Massive !,

That year the Steelers won the Superleague grand sham and bust the cap wide open,they reportedly spent about £1.1 million was it ? Split between 20 players over 30 weeks,that's only an average per player of £1800 a week.

If it is true that we had a player on £3K per week, then the most likely players it could be who I can think of are Boynton, Moran or McKenna from the lockout season, the most likely being Boynton, but I still find it hard to believe

Couple of years ago, maybe it was what they paid Stewart for his brief stay during the lockout.
