Slashers (Sergei Gonchar) out 4-6 monts!

Sergei Gonchar is out longer than originally expected. He now needs surgery on to fix a dislocated shoulder as it was more serious then they thought. This is a blow to the Pittsburgh Penguins as now he and Whitney will be out for a significant amount of time. This is puts a serious dent in the Slashers Defense right now as he only has 3 left. He will be greatly missed while he is out. Gonchar might be back in time for our FHL playoffs.

Head of the Class!

The 3 players pictures above are the guys that are going to go 1,2, and 3 in the waiver draft this upcomming Saturday. Stamkos, Carter and Turris in no particular order yet. As there is some confusion and debating of who to pick at what spot. After that there is some really nice talent to be selected from. You can make great picks or picks that backfire and blow up in your face. You can pick the young rookie over the developing 3rd or 4th year player and that rookie does not pan out. It is all up to how each owner runs his team. Everyone here has different philosophies and do different things. So far in the last 2 years of our waiver draft. I will break down some numbers. 35% of the Waiver picks did not pan out, not as bad of a number as i thought it would be. Only 2 Goalies have been picked out of 20. and 6 Defenseman were picked along with 12 Forwards.

I think the trend will continue. As I only see one goalie being drafted. maybe 2 if some circumstances change from now till then. I see 2 or 3 D men going and the rest all forwards. There is an abundance of talent out there. The day after which is sunday and the beginning of free agency, there will still be plenty of talent around.

Erik Johnson (MalagaRoad Flyers) out for Season?

Big Story breaking in right now. The injury to Erik Johnson is worst than expected. It is now reported that he is out for 6-9 months with a torn ACL. That is most or all of the season. This is a very significant blow to the MalagaRoad Flyers team and the season did not even start yet. He was injured when his foot got jammed between the brake and gas pedal trying to stop a golf cart he was driving. A freak accident like last year when a skated dropped and sliced Dan Boyle's wrist causing him to miss alot of time after the surgery. Erik Johnson had over 30 points as a rookie and was looking to make a big step this year in his 2nd year. Hopefully he can come back 100% and develop into what he was supposed to be.

It might even be a Waiver Draft Day trade in the Live Chat Room. Either way then or Free Agency the Stingers will sure up the rest of his roster.
