Can I propose that we move the deadline for players signing in Europe up from October 1st to September 15th?
There may be a lot of players signing lockout deals in the next two weeks. This saves us some headaches, separating "lockout" European deals from "regular" European deals.
Retirements could remain October 1st.
Jaroslav Spacek retires. Depending upon the call, could put me in position to need to pick up a few defenders.
Pascal Leclaire retires due to numerous hip injuries. It's a shame. I always thought he was an underrated keeper. Always waited for him to put it together.
