[Dr.Sens(e)]

Of note, it looks like the admin team has agreed to give teams a one time opportunity this summer to drop veterans who have headed to Europe from their prospect roster. In doing so, teams would obviously relinquish any claim to the player if they returned to North America. This should help teams manage their roster a bit better given the departure of roster players they may have been counting on. Expect a similar process to prospect releases, with details to follow.

Don't know if this was already posted, but after finishing off the season in RSL, Petr Cajanek will play for Dynamo Moscow in KHL next season.

Cajanek is still on the Caps roster and should be removed. Also Jaroslav Modry signed with HC Liberec and will play in the Czech league next season. Washington is down to 5 defensemen and 19 roster players.

[Tampa GM]

and next ...

Sean Hill .. Ben Clymer ...

Both Hill and Clymer are rumoured to sign in Switzerland and Russia but so far none of them has signed as far as I know. Do you have any link?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I'm waiting for Nagy to sign in Russia

 

[Hossa]

I'm waiting for Nagy to sign in Russia

Wanna trade him to me for Matthias Tjarnqvist and Denis Tolpeko then? If they're all heading to Europe anyways?

 

[Toronto_AGM_Adil]

BTW, maybe we should start collecting retired and europe bound players in a single list? I know sean updates them one at a time, however this process might get messy given the number of players moving to europe with this new KHL league.

That would be nice... fields that should be included would be a signing date and link to confirmation.

Looks like Jan Hlavac's stint back on the Kings roster will be short lived.
