Those OKs socks available at Saturday's game are gorgeous. Anyone going who would grab a pair or two for me? I'll pay costs, of course.

The Oil Kings have apparently claimed 17 year old Russian defensman Yegor Zamula off waivers from Regina. He had 7 assists in 38 games with the Pats this year. Stats are a little underwhelming this year but a quick twitter search shows that a number of Pats fans are not happy about letting him go at all. Even saw a comment that he may be better than Sergey Zborovsky was as a 17 year old. If he can develop to be anywhere near the dman Zborovsky was this could be a coup.

I'm interested to see what the corresponding move to this will be as they'll have to get rid of another import now. They might try to move Tomas Soustal ahead of tomorrow's trade deadline, but as an overage import there is a very limited market for a guy like that. Safer bet is that they'll release Andrei Pavlenko I'd guess.

Looks like those reports last night were incorrect, Zamula was claimed by Calgary.
