I can't stand Rhett.

It takes a special kind of scumbag to criticize a kid for wanting to stay in school. Especially a kid who is FAAAAR from a lock to make the NHL.

Do you know how fast an ELC dries up once you buy a house, car and help your parents out? It's not a lump sum either and if he doesn't make the NHL then he is stuck with a very average AHL salary and no applicable skills to enter the work force with once that dries up.

If there is one type of person I would NEVER take life advice from as a young adult, it's a pro athlete. Silver Spoon.
