NHL Can Now Ransack Europe
Jun 17, 2008 NHL
…for free. You can go ahead and make a ‘and France already surrendered!’ joke if it makes you feel better. The international transfer deal between the NHL and IIHF has expired, meaning the league no longer pays the $200,000 fee to sign European free agents. NHL teams currently spend about $11 million a year on European free agents, many of which end up in the minors. This can’t be good for the clubs in the IIHF leagues, who were already worried about their talent leaving for the (potential) payday in the US and Canada.

Sabres Summer Development Camp
Jun 17, 2008 NHL
30 Buffalo Sabres prospects will be on hand for the Summer Development Camp June 25th to July 1st at Niagara University. Nathan Gerbe, Tim Kennedy and Jhonas Enroth will be there among others. I noticed the Sabres.com article mentions Angry Eyebrows will be there as well…perhaps they want him to get a little extra practice after a somewhat disappointing season?
