If you're going to do this so late in the offseason, wouldn't you just wait till you hire a GM and have him make a decision?

Maybe the GM candidates all stated they would want their own people anyhow...

A Russian hockey player who recently signed with the Philadelphia Flyers has been detained in Russia on charges that he planned to evade military service, according to reports from Russian news outlets.

Ivan Fedotov, a 6-foot-7 goalie, signed with the Flyers on May 7 and was expected to compete for a spot on the roster at training camp in the fall. He played for the Russian Olympic Committee in this year’s Winter Games in Beijing, where he helped the team earn a silver medal.

A spokesman for the National Hockey League said the league was aware of the situation but would not comment further.

Chuck Fletcher, Philadelphia’s president of hockey operations and general manager, said in a statement that the Flyers “are aware of the reports and are investigating the situation.”

Fedotov was apparently detained on Friday, the same day that the American basketball star Brittney Griner’s trial began in Russia.

Yeah, if the Final is any indication, he's falling off hard. Nice play by Tampa to get out of that contract now before it's too late...it's too bad, McDonagh was magnificent in the last two...I had him on the fringes of the Smythe in one of the runs...

Should they choose to do it, Tampa would also get a cap credit this season for buying out Philippe Myers.

Sharks hire Mike Grier as GM.

First black GM in league history, pretty cool

Structure of contract, plus he's under 26, so it would be a one-third buyout instead of two-thirds...

It's interesting to me that she coached on Team Germany's staff as a Canadian, similar to Ted Nolan coaching Latvia.

How do they determine coaches in international play?

She was coaching in Germany already. So, she likely applied when the opportunity came up. The German WC team had no Germans on the staff, interestingly enough...

But typically, you're already over there if it's a team that resets/re-evaluates their staff every year/tournament...some guys are "regulars" for their respective international clubs and likely do part-time work in other places...like Tommy Albelin (Swede) working with the Swiss team...
