Anybody know what players in Russia/Czech Rep./Sweden/Finland make about in a year? Tverdovsky signed for quite a chunk of change in Omsk...... OH does anybody know of an english site where a person can follow the Russian Elite League (not just prospects, but the actual teams).

This is because Roman Abramovich owns Omsk...so he can afford to pay Tverdovsky a large chunk of money. I don't know the exact figures, but I heard that the Russian league actually pays really well.

The taxes in Germany are also very high.

The average salary a player makes this season in the finnish league is $60-70.000, and in the swedish league about $75-80.000/player. In each league there are around 15-20 players that make more than $150.000 (but not more than 250K).
