Chris Pronger Posts Informational Tweet Thread Breaking Down How Much NHL Players Actually Make

[Phil]

 

This is actually like twelve tweets long, so if you want the full context, I'd suggest reading the whole thing.

[josh]

He should read the tweet thread of how much I make.

Saw this......I get his point.....however......read the room dude!!

 

Your fans are mostly middle class folks who are lucky to make lower six figures or less. 

 

Live within your means and invest well for the long term.

I think the issue here is it's the right message for the wrong audience. This information is incredibly valuable for NHL players and soon-to-be NHL players. It's far less valuable, or useful, for fans.

 

In effect, this needs to be addressed to the players themselves through the PA, not pumped out into the public discourse on Twitter where it's next to impossible to divorce it from the "here's why millionaires aren't actually as rich as you think they are," lens so many read it through — whether that was Pronger's intention or not.

Next week, he’ll complain about his 401k match and his health insurance switching to a high deductible plan. 

[Scott]

meanwhile #13 doesn't give 2 fucks about any of this on his day off

Probably just finished the initial divorce meeting with his lawyer.
