That really doesn't make a difference for an SMJHL rental already at the cap though. He's also socially and forumally active.

I also think that with the parity in the J, everyone can largely contend, and moving to FHM means that any team might be able to win the cup next season.

Outside of that, really good article, and a really interesting topic that probably not everyone has considered. 10/10.

Those are definitely good points and I see what you're saying - him being broke isn't as big an issue as if one of the younger guys didn't have money, as he's gone after the season anyways and doesn't need to train. I think it's most likely that he'll return in a Kraken uniform next season, they don't need to get rid of him and I don't see any of Newfoundland, St. Louis or Vancouver making an offer that Carolina likes enough to ship him out, but he would be an interesting possibility if a team needed a one-year goalie. Honestly, Detroit would be a really interesting team for Hroch to go to because they're a young, contending team with a developing starter and can afford to trade some draft picks if they wanted to make a run at the Four Star Cup, but Jobin isn't bad, is pretty active and I don't think the Falcons would be willing to bench him for a season.
