Josh Brook...can someone that has seen him play make an evaluation?
- HABNOTS

he had a good game tonight. pretty good dman, can throw a hit, has some offense in him. righthanded, it's a plus.
doesn't have the hardest shot, not the better skater, not the most physical... but he does everything well. no real flaws in his game. well rounded.
had trouble last year adjusting to the pro level, but looked really good tonight.
I'd say similar to Fleury, less physical, better offense.

“My contract sucks,” Luongo said at a press conference Wednesday after his team’s practice. “I’d scrap it if I could right now.”

- Pat1993

yes pat. because he was getting benched and his contract made the canucks leery of trading him because of the recapture penalty they would be hit with at the time. and yes, they eventually traded him but i are still getting hit with a 3M cap hit from him retiring before the end of the contract.

it was a contract they changed the CBA to stop teams from front loading contracts for 12 years.

That is why he said it. it doesn't apply to price.

exactly, my point is even if Price wanted to right now he can't just cancel his current contract it and start over with a new deal
- Pat1993

fido was talking about him retiring. not getting a different contract.

guess the bong is working better than pat realizes.

and this "recapture penalty" doesn't exist anymore/doesn't apply to Price's contract at all?
