Eric Staal. Lottery Winner.


So the Hurricanes lost the draft lottery in 2003. So they got their asses kicked by Larionov and the rest of the RedWings a year point five earlier.

The lottery winner that year was not the Pittsburgh Penguins, it was a red headed day walker named Eric Staal.

Today the guy got 57.75 million dollars to keep playing in Raleigh, North Carolina. Let's break this down stats wise.

He has a career total of 283 career points. 124 career goals. So he was awarded:

$454, 724 for every goal he scored in his career.
$204, 063 for each point he scored.

Hollywood makes movies about people stealing less than that. Let alone 2 points a game, or 1 million dollars a game. Shoot to win from Wendy's at center ice, they make it hard enough that even Eric Staal couldn't do it. 
WIN A MILLION.

Staal wins a million every 2 goals he scores. You know who'd like those odds?

Tom fucking Chorske would like those odds. He scored 115 NHL goals. In Eric Staal money, that's 50.35 million dollars. 

Errors per game and money per game, it's all the same. And all we ask as bloggers is some of that internet money, buddy.

If Chorske sucked, that means that Staal can suck the chrome off a hitch and a golfball through a garden hose. dare I say it, he sucks almost as hard as Ryan Smyth.

Tom Chorske had pride, he might have sucked, but he never had crocodile tears when he was traded.

Tom Chorske had self respect.
