significant hockey announcement
Time to retire Brown's number already?
Man, what a career.
Most 1st rounders from the CHL get entry level contracts quickly.I'll admit I'm surprised by this as well.
Our recent history shows we make players "earn" their ELC and continue with their work-hard mentality afterwards.
For a player where there have been rumblings about work ethic, I probably would have done this after the WJC or at the end of next season.
GM goes on radio about making players earn ELC's, signs Brown a couple months after draft....
