You should take things being said with a grain of salt, it's never at face value. I mean, a few years back, Marian Gaborik bought a house in North Vancouver. He's going to sign with the Canucks right? he's found a place to live, he's been hinting at it. Out of nowhere, New York offers him more money and he bolts to the Rangers. No one I knew of at the time called him a dick for doing that.

I will gladly call him a dick for that. I'm sorry but out of the millions of players that never got to make it to the NHL and would have killed to be there, Justin is selfish to not want to at least fulfill is ELC with the team he was drafted by. I don't care if you hate the franchise you are with you sign the deal and leave after 2-3 years. You play you @$$ off and then get a bigger contract from teams you want to play for more. He is taking the little bitc h way out and to me that is losing a lot of respect in my book.
I really hope the new CBA is signed and somehow screws him over before he signs his contract. This is a huge problem and cost teams a lot of money in scouting etc. This system needs to close the loopholes or you are going to see teams losing out on players a lot more often and odds are it will be the small market teams that are hurt the most and end up costing the NHL a lot of $.
