Euro Hockey For Dummies

SBN blog Puck Worlds breaks down the European hockey leagues in its ongoing series. Under Martin Madden, the Ducks have turned to European leagues several times at the Draft table, presumably looking for a 'free development' system that favors a homerun pick. Consider picks like Sami Vatanen, Igor Bobkov, Tim Heed and Andreas Dahlstrom. The Puck Worlds guide is a great read if you're wondering how the Ducks' non-North American prospects live.

btw why don’t we just sign Vatanen. He has the skill to play in the league but his size is holding him back. When does his contract run out with his Finnish team?

He’s not being forced to play overseas. I fanshotted the IIHF profile saying as much as soon as it came out.

You should be happy that it’s me calling you out so that readers don’t have to publicly post things like “Why do I read your posts?” And then force me to consider whether that’s a personal attack or if it’s completely justified based on what you post and the fact that you regularly curse at people unprovoked. If only backcheck had to be an actual moderator instead of a self-appointed one. Maybe he’d understand what I go through.
