According to a swiss-newspaper and the manager of the portal himself, the portal Ashleymadisson.com wanted to finance a Crosby's lock-out deal for the swiss champion, Zürich. They were ready to pay 600'000 swiss francs. In exchange, the logo of ashleymadisson should have been on Crosby shirt and Zürich's players should have done a TV-spot, among other publicity. Zürich said no because of morality reason. The manager of the portal said he's looking for another swiss team who could be interested. He also said that they weren't in contact yet with Crosby agent.

Wait. Ok, uh, is this site like a swiss version of the Onion? The website looking to finance Crosby's stay is adult related which provides cheaters a place to converse and hookup.
Is Sid on Tiger Woods mack daddy status? Well, if he is, atleast he's single right? O
Yep, it's a hookup site for people who are in a relationship. But as a team owner, I wouldn't care, people are responsible for what they do and THEY COULD HAVE HAD SIDNEY CROSBY on their team FFS!!! I still hope he lands in Switzerland, but that's the best chance...

Well, where ever he lands i pray i can watch games live or some kind soul puts highlight packages together on youtube.
So if you want to check out Richard Park and Jason Williams in their loss to John Tavares and Mark Streit, it's all here
Of the top of my head, these NHL players play in the Swiss league during the lockout:
Yannick Weber
Logan Couture
Jason Spezza
Damien Brunner
Raphael Diaz
Henrik Zetterberg
Joe Thornton
Rick Nash
Patrice Bergeron
Jared Spurgeon
Tyler Ennis
Brooks Laich
Tyler Seguin
Roman Josi
Mark Streit
John Tavares
must have got more money , Austrian league will be better standard than the Dutch league so that's good and he'll still get plenty of ice time.
Yeah, I was surprised that he signed in Holland at all, that's quite a poor league. I guess he could just as well sign with one of the lower leagues in North America. I had Jeffrey singled out as the one Penguin it was possible to get to my local team in Norway, but that ship has sailed now...

I was wondering what that all was about. Holland FFS, I mean that's below the ECHL.
Yea, Jeffrey to a KHL club. (wait, maybe they just have "KHL" in their name?)
So what league is that? Oh Austrian EBEL
Thx for the link Milliardo to the highlights site.
ETA: Tried to watch some vids. Don't seem to work here in Canadia
I believe KHL Medveščak is moving to the KHL next season.

Is the team Jeffrey joining any good? Even the league?
He's a guy I still have some hopes for if he can get an edge to his game, another gear or two in his stride and can possibly convert to wing. Then again, I try to stay optimistic for a lot of the Pens prospects.
Possibly. I'll run it through google translate here...

Ok then, very strange. But you could circumvent that with a fake proxy server, I mean it's not like you're stealing something, I don't know why the hell they're doing that anyways.

The EBEL is significantly better than the Dutch league. I would place it a little below the DEL in terms of quality. Originally the top division in Austria, the league expanded when several Austrian clubs went under, and now includes 8 clubs from Austria and 1 each from Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Zagreb has quite the money, being Croatia's capital and only noteworthy hockey team. Former Pens prospects Johnathan Filewich and Andy Sertich played there in the recent past.

do you think EBEL is above the 2nd Bundesliga or around the same Burgs?
Engelland has signed for Rosenborg in the Norwegian Elite League (aka Get League), where he'll probably be a top pairing d-man, paired with Ryan Martinelli. Rosenborg are a bottom half team in the Norwegian league, tho should improve after adding Deryk and Jack Skille from Florida. They are a pretty tough team in a rather soft league.
Rosenborg are the first and thus far only Norwegian team to bring in NHL players.
