Revenue sharing...........if the money was spread around, more teams could compete when offering these types packages.......revenue sharing and better education packages from the league would go a long way in making this league hang around for a while. If you share the revenue, some teams will just pocket the money, all owners are not the same as you can see firsthand in Bathurst. Like RKI, Bobby Smith, the Tanguays and Roy.....

You seem to be the one that knows very little about the inner workings of the Titans or you're playing dumb. When LGM was making piles of money in 1999-2002, he was still lowballing 20 year olds and getting low end Euros because he didn't want to pay for impact guys. Making money and spending it are 2 different things. I know for a FACT that some of the 20's getting up to 30 grand per season and we've always had solid 20's unless it was in a down year or rebuild.......with the Euros he's been the type to trade for guys that are already here and established instead of drafting high end guys........Materoukine (sp?), Durak, Bartos, and now Svoboda, Sprukts, etc., all solid guys in years when we have a good team and need solid guys......Euros have sucked in the down years where there was no point in trading for a good one........ So true! And the Euros are the ones with a self-centered agenda.... Look at what happened to the Remps losing both Bashkirovs together.... Euros don't care as much and they very seldom make a team win....except for Radulov, the exception. If you want motivated players, get the yound Canadians and they will breathe for the team....and you can complete your team with good Euros.... LGM spends when he thinks that he will get value for his money.

I guess being playoff MVP isn't quite enough. ;D

What if I have family that's European? Am I suppose to think lesser of them because you're some douche bag tell me they don't have hearts and they don't care? I can't wait for your racist remarks come training camp when we could possibly have an African American on our roster.

Really though, its not like Martins Karsums put his body on the line every night for the cats, what a heartless euro he was .

Not many player help his team win. Why did he have to single out Europeans? I'm Canadian and I'm still VASTLY offended by his discriminating remarks. What do you have to say about Akim Alu? He's from Nigeria and drafted by Chicago...gonna make fun of him too? CHSB won't reply for a while, he's probably too busy being racist.

What does the Memorial Cup means to a 17-18 YO Euro coming here for his first year? The young Canadians know much more about it.... As the Euros are much more interested by the World Hockey Championships than the Canadians are.... So it is a matter of motivation for each. I will acknowledge a few exceptions though and Karsums was clearly one simply because he played intensively at every level he played including for his country. There is a very big gap between myself and Don Cherry....I wonder how you would qualify his remarks

The Mem Cup did not mean as much....

Getting top notch Euros like Moncton Quebec and Halifax get takes money and LGM has never reinvested the profits of the first few years into the team.

Where in this world do the words "self-centered agenda", make someone a racist?........some of you guys are just to set on getting a comment in at him that you're not even making sense anymore.
