Disappointed that Hodgson signed with the Sabres. I was hoping that he'd walk away from them when his contract was over and join the Leafs.

Is there some sort of unwritten "loyalty" code in the NHL? If I was a premier player in the NHL, I'd be trying to go where I wanted, not sticking with the team who drafted me, or staying with a team that I was traded to. I guess you could say that I'd pull a Lindros, except that I'd serve out the duration of my entry level contract with the team who drafted me first.
