Brossoit had very similar numbers as Skinner during his last WHL season. In fact, Brossoit had a better regular season save % at .917 vs Skinner's .914 and the same playoff save % at .935 but with Brossoit having a GAA of 1.82 vs 2.12. So, I'll save my enthusiasm until he actually makes the NHL or at least does well during training camp.
Really happy for Skinner and Estephan two fantastic players and people hopefully they can win the Memorial Cup. Interestingly none of the three leagues top teams will be in the Memorial Cup Moose Jaw, the Soo and Blainville.
He is. I wonder if the Oilers might try and get him on an AHL deal, he'd be a decent option for the Condors.Isn't Estephan a free agent? I don't think he signed with Buffalo.

Anyone have some solid links or a link to thread on here about the impact of the CHL leagues potentially being liable to treat players as normal workers?
Seems like a good way to shrink the CHL.
The Centennial Salute will be the largest, most spectacular celebration in the century-long history of the championship, a fitting kick-off event for the 100th Mastercard Memorial Cup. The production will feature premium entertainment including live performances by Brent Butt, Jess Moskaluke, Chad Brownlee and a special musical tribute to the Humboldt Broncos hockey team, featuring Jack Semple and the Regina Symphony. The show will culminate in a full-length live performance by the Eagles, including Vince Gill, followed by a huge closing fireworks display that will light up the sky over Mosaic Stadium.
If it means the CHL shrinking then ya it's a bad thing.Is this a bad thing?
On a side note and not directed at you. Sports always baffles me because a big % of the fans are probably fiscally conservative/ free market/ small government/ small business/ low regulation individuals. Yet those same fans will call players looking for more $ greedy, or support the RFA rules/ salary cap and the draft. Basically, anything that is in the billionaire owners favour and against the players interest. Its so pecular that fans can be so different in how they treat players vs how they treat employees/ independent contractors in the real world. If a politician suggested half of the measures that are enacted in Sports in the real world, they would lose their lids (my income is capped at x amount?! I cant choose where I work?! You wont pay me to work?!). Its the most comical when looking at the NCAA and the US population (in particular the Souther States). Its like fans think its there money personally that is going to the millionaire players. For every $1 that a player doesnt get in a negotiation goes to a billionaire owner. I come to watch the player and the owners make money hand over fist regardless, so let the players take the $
Who are the favourites in this tourney? Swift seems to have the best regular-season record of all of the teams, plus the Dub is a tough league.
