But if you look at the net earning you made on most of those players, you got ~500-600K. Not terribly different than what hrudey got. Plus, you have to factor in that over the course of time that you had these guys, I would suspect that on average they had the same, or higher, salary as the Tuozzi guy had. So overall your net earnings were probably a bit lower.
So yeah, training higher potential guys probably can earn you more money than training star and all star, but it's not as clear cut as you make it out to be.
