Now college loopholes are a standard rite of passage and if your bridge deal isn't flattering (rarely were until recently unless you were a top 10 type player) you can just say you want to jet and get your short list too.
There was a time when an nhl team (any) drafting you then graduating you was an honour and players treated it as such.
Despite it all I still like the guy, which is why it's especially frustrating

The teams treat the players like horsemeat, how many times have we seen players who wanted to spend the rest of their career on a team unceremoniously traded away for a 4th round pick and futures when they get slow and start to pick up injuries? the NHL, the teams, the owners has never shown any loyalty to its players so why the hell should the players view the teams any differently?
