Loyalty.. a foreign concept with these new kids
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

Like Brett Hull.... Eric Lindros.... Patrick Roy... Players are likely more loyal now chasing the 8 year extensions.
