League may have to cease control of a few troubled franchises. San Jose, Ottawa, and Winnipeg have done nothing. If owners of these clubs are still alive, feel free to jump in or league will take control

Tampa Bay selects, from the USNTDP, Patrick Sieloff.
Quote:
He’s a mean, physical, defensive defenseman who might lack in size (6’0″ 194lbs), but he makes up for that with his penchant for kicking babies and eating broken glass. He finishes every check, stands up for his teammates, and punishes his opponents with a zeal that is both exciting and scary. Imagine if Zack Kassian were a defenseman, had an IQ in triple digits and was having a really bad day. That’s Sieloff every day.

Alright some news and notes from around the league.
@tsnbobmckenzie
Newly signed Jonas Gustavsson has demanded a trade out of Toronto with the addition of Kiprusoff.
@tsnbobmckenzie
Several agents have reportedly advised their clients to not enter contract discussions with Nashville unless a NTC is in place. Lot's of hurt feelings over the Suter fiasco.
@DarrenDreger
I'm being told both Matt Carle and Dennis Wideman are demanding more than James Wisniewski money and both are likely to test free agency.

Butler, Schultz and Babchuk are out of here for picks/prospects
I'd move Comeau (RFA).
I'm looking for a physical RW that can play in the Top-9 and a shutdown defenseman. Can be prime aged, youth, or prospects. Also don't mind collecting more goaltending prospects.
