Russianfan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey board, for the knowledgable fan out there does anyone know what the average NHL President makes? I know it goes with the market, with experience, past credentials etc. But with NHL Coaches making 1-2 million a year and GM's making 1-2 million a year would a President of an NHL club make the same or less? Does anyone know or estimate what Trevor is getting paid for his role? Thanks ahead for the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck'nAnimal Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 As far as I'm concerned, it was covered at the presser yesterday. It wasn't any of the media's business and it's not ours. +1 Deb's comment. "Revenue Canada". LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russianfan Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 It is our business, because as a person who has an interest into getting into the professional sports executive positions I am trying to evaluate the compensation structure and to consider if I would be interested in these type of roles. Trevor does not have a lot of money as you may think, his max salary was 4 million dollars and NHL players just like all pro players burn through their money fast, many have to rely on jobs outside of the NHL or stay in the game to afford their life style. Trevor is most definitely is doing this for the money as much as for his love for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe your interest but that's their discretion not to release that information. That's why you'll never know for certain the details of any GM, coach or President's salary. Check the internet. All you will find are estimates and 'reports.' It's private information that is not released to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22Sedinery33 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think you need to educate yourself with Trevors business ventures since he retired from the game. He has made more money from those business ventures then he did playing in the NHL. He used his money wisely and to say he's doing it for money is probably the dumbest thing you could say. It takes money to make money and he certainly has done that without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor is most definitely is doing this for the money as much as for his love for the Canucks. For one would you qualify? And for another point, Trevor isn't a "high-flashy" kind of guy. I'd give him more credit for fiscal restraint (he went into real estate development and started his own business after all and he doesn't drive a lambo or have a large house) He was shopping at Safeway for one thing at the start of his career despite a fairly decent rookie salary. The kid's got a head on his shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russianfan Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 If a player like Trevor who i see always shopping at regular places and dressing in t-shirts and driving a regular car, that shows me he has no money to burn. Any true rich person, a high class person will always shop at the best places, drive the best cars, live in the biggest homes. Growing up i admired and adored the rap stars, the tv celebrities because they inspired my generation to go out there and make as much money as we could to afford the life style we can get. . I am sorry but I do not believe for a second that a professional sports player would be doing regular joe shmoe things unless they were running low on funds, there is simply no other way to explain that.. Think about it, it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss is a billionaire, wears corduroy pants, wears the same hardhat into the plant as he's had for 25 years, rents a pickup truck because it's convenient for him, and has lived in the same house in Cloverdale since 1969.

TheRussianRocket. Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 $1-$3 mill is presidents. GM's get between $600k-$2.5 mill. Was talked about on hockey central this morning but no, Linden is not in it for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, it makes sense. That's a logical fallacy. Because he doesn't waste his money means he doesn't have any? Maybe the reason he has some is because he doesn't. Any true rich person? Something tells me you have limited experience in that field. Jimmy Pattison wears clothes from Walmart. Is he a truly rich person? Looking up to people who don't understand the true value of wealth is a poor target. There is a reason those people go broke. I feel bad for you if you think the only reason to be successful in life is for flashy material things. I would suggest that you look around at the other great role models because there is a variety to choose from. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Albert Schweitzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of reports around what other front office positions have paid, and if you decide that's good enough to pursue as a career then you'll find out more the closer you get to actually achieving that goal. No one needs to tell you what they make, especially as a fan versus someone in a position to be privy to that info. While Linden didn't make an astronomical salary, he also hasn't burned through it since he's been successful in the business arena since retiring from hockey. He could easily have continued with his real estate deals, Clearly Contacts spokesmanship, and Club 16 fitness clubs to finance his remaining working life and retirement - like for both him and his children.

It's private information that is not released to the public. You know though there should be complete transparency though. Watching Jon Stewart last night about the Americans and their equal payday for women day. Yesterday was the day in the States where most women would finally catch up with and identical men's position 2013 earnings if they both counted from January 01, 2013. I know I would love that at work here. I'm due for a raise but there is an industry freeze right now. However, I am continually taking on more jobs than anyone that would make my salary look ridiculously low in face of some of the people's pay I see here. I handle the IT informally because Corporate is stupid (company wide opinion) ... I end up seeing a lot of people's salaries when they first start as result. For some reason we continually hire people while their manager's are out of town and we don't supply them with a computer until a well after they start so I handle new hire orientation. Anyways, on topic they were speculating on Hockey Central today and said that most GM's make between $600,000, and 1 million. Some of the new guys like MG and Stevie Y are getting 2 million now though. They say often the President makes less then the GM. They speculated as such, becasue TL is brand new that he's probably in the $500,000 to $750,000 range for this first year. That seems reasonable to me. I would think it's an escalting contract that pays him well if he is still here in 3 year and I would think they both would have an out clause. Don't know if this is a legal structure contract or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russianfan Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 There is no way a president can make less than the GM as you claim. That would undermine the position, the President will ALWAYS make more than the GM because they are higher up on the ladder. It just makes sense.There is not a single organization in the world that has people taking orders from someone who is being paid less than them.
