Good find. I think this is good news. I am ok with something that keeps players over in Europe until they are ready as well. Maybe the adjustment time to north american style of play happens a little quicker this way (ie no major junior or AHL to get accustomed), but if it is what is needed as part of a new transfer agreement then fine.
