Should be good for some leadership, too.

How about Bates or Anthony Battalgia? They are just coming off winning a championship of their own...

Posted the 6 millionth post!

I remember a good article on (who I remember it being) Hnat Domenichelli. He was talking about the sweet life playing hockey in Swtizerland, that he still gets paid extremely well, has everything taken care of for him, and play in one of the greatest countries in the world. I believe he was also saying he wouldn't go back to North America at that point, because he was a top-player in the Swiss League and living the high life with his wife and child.
I have no doubts life can be extremely sweet playing in Europe. I would sell my left nut to get that chance.

"We were thinking a lot about it, and I think for my family and for myself in general, it was just time to move on and give Europe a try," Walter explained. "We signed a one-year deal, so if it doesn't work out, that's how it goes. With the travel and the grind of the American league, I think it was time to try something else."

"I had a good talk with (Calgary Flames assistant general manager) John Weisbrod after the season, and they said they were definitely interested in having me back," Walter said. "We didn't really get into contract discussions all that much, but it was a decision I made for me and my family. It was nothing against Calgary or the Heat at all. I think it was the best direction for us to go in."

Wish him the best of luck in Sweden. He was a truly nice guy.
