The Kindl signing happened a few hours after I made this post. There is also Zbynek Michaek (Sparta Praha, Czech Republic) and Brooks Laich (LA) who have signed contracts since then.

As for Hodges, there hasn't been an official report/statement but since he hasn't played in almost two years we can assume that he is retired.

You've got to think both Michalek's will play for Czech in the Olympics.

Does anyone know if Iginla accepted the invitation to the Karjala Cup? Any chance Doan joins Canada?

They haven't announced their roster yet but Dreger just released 5 names on Twitter
