European hockey teams bracing for NHL lockout to end within next week

[brymaster1]

Gareth Chalmers is an agent in the U.K. and the owner of 9 Hockey Management. On his Twitter feed Wednesday, he wrote about some conversations he's had with teams in Europe about the locked-out NHL players on their rosters and … well, try not to get your hopes too high.

"I have been talking to a number of teams on the continent today who have NHL guys on their rosters. It seems that quite a few of them have been told by their NHL agents today, to get ready to return within the next week. One GM told me today that a contact of his in the NHL had advised that they are now looking at 2nd January restart."

It seems to be circulating around Europe as I've noticed a sudden increase of teams today looking for new imports. A number of European teams have some big holes to fill if the NHL does restart, some have invested heavily. Once the NHL lockout finishes, this is when we'll see the true effects. Teams may struggle to find the calibre of player they want.

Some PPL are so desperate for hockey they will grasp at anything that is printed .
The media is also grasping at straws printing crap like this . Lets face it , they have too sell papers , or report something just to keep their job , the same old crap about the lockout every day just doesn't give them anything new to report so they make up stories like this one ..
