- there are reports Voronkov was thinking of going home
- there are reports Chinakhov wants out

fair point.
- there are reports Voronkov was thinking of going home
I went away to college when I was 18 in another state. My assigned roomate never enrolled and I lived in a dorm room by myself as a freshman with very few friends. I thought a lot about going home myself but I stuck it out.

Sometimes you just need to earn your happiness. The guy has been hurt a lot and the room has been crowded with lots of medicre forwards. Time to prove you above that pack. This is on him and on him alone to earn playing time.

Where are these reports? Ho should be unhappy after he was kept in the league all season last year but it doesn't change the fact he was getting pushed around and wasn't effective early season. He's just not physically built for the NHL yet and by all accounts communication has been clear with him on what he needs to do for the lonevity of his career. Bulk up and get some confidence.
- there are reports Jiricek was unhappy that he was sent to Cleveland.
So apparently he was totld to find a place and then got ent to Cleveland for 1 day. Maybe it could have been communicated better but its not like he was exiled to Siberia. He was recalled the next day. This is just a numbers game with too many players and he is one of the few who didn't have to go on waivers. I think it's pretty safe to say he is here to stay.
