I think we know the NHL&#8217;s cap has issues, and this is proven in contracts such as Kovalchuk&#8217;s, Luongo&#8217;s, Hossa&#8217;s and more. As well, I think the guaranteed contracts are a bit of an issue (but I have a pretty [...]]]></description>

Gagner mentioned he worked hard to lose a bit of weight in the off-season (yes, I said lose weight&#8230; I guess he wanted to lose some of the [...]]]></description>
