I realized it was worth clarifying something before the FA period started, that being that Karel Rachunek is still a Vancouver Canuck, at least for one more year.
That problem child (we love you Karel) went to Russia for the 2005-06 season, while still under contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
As evidence to this, Rachunek after the 2003-04 season, found in the History section, was listed in the finances pages as "1,084,000 2 years". He was a member of the Oilers at the time.

Therefore, having skipped out on the 2005-06 season, he should be returning to Vancouver for one more season to finish that contract. For some reason he wasn't put on my prospects page, but I really thought nothing of it until now. I certainly didn't release him, so it shouldn't be too difficult. WIth the rollback, his 2005-06 salary should be $813,000.
Anyways, the point is to give those of you who may have wanted to bid on Karel a heads-up before the FA period because he is NOT a UFA, unless I'm missing something. I already ran this by one member of the admin team though, so it should be as simple as that.
Oh, and welcome back Karel.
