Hope that's okay to everyone - I'll hijack that thread and give you an overview of former Flames/Heat players currently playing in the Austrian league

F Mitch Wahl (Red Bull Salzburg): 5 GP, 0 G + 1 A = 1 P, -2, 9 PIM
Wahl had a slow start to the season, but he was pretty good for Salzburg in the European Trophy (4 goals in 8 games) beforehand. In the league, he has struggled to have an impact, but Salzburg has been pretty bad in general (they were destroyed 9-1 by Vienna last weekend).

F Matt Keith (Red Bull Salzburg): 5 GP, 1 G + 0 A = 1 P, +2, 2 PIM
Keith has not been an offensive catalyst for Salzburg yet - only 2 points in 7 European Trophy games and one goal in the league so far. Like Wahl, he has been buried in the bottom six so far.

F Olivier Latendresse (Graz 99ers): 5 GP, 3 G + 0 A = 3 P, even, 0 PIM
After leaving the Heat and spending a year in Germany, Latendresse has been a reliable scorer for Graz, netting 35 goals and 52 assists in his first two seasons (99 games). He got off to a good start again and after 11 and 24 goals respectively, he'll be looking to improve even further in year three.

F Dustin Sylvester (Vienna Capitals): 5 GP, 2 G + 1 A = 3 P, +1, 4 PIM
The small forward had an okay start to his first season in Europe. There's still a lot of room for improvement though, as he hasn't had a crack at first line duties so far. As a second line scorer, he has been more than fine for the Capitals.

F John Lammers (Klagenfurt): 5 GP, 3 G + 2 A = 5 P, +1, 0 PIM
Lammers only played 4 games for the Heat four years ago ... still deserves to be observed by a Flames fan though he has been an offensive catalyst for Klagenfurt (82 points in 96 games over two seasons) and his start to the season shows he's ready for an even bigger role.

F Jamie Lundmark (Klagenfurt): 0 GP
Lundmark was fantastic last year as he finished the season as the 4th best scorer of the league, scoring 58 points in 51 games. An injury has kept him out of the 2013-14 season so far, but it is to be expected that Lundmark will continue to put up huge points again.

G J.P. Lamourieux (Villach): 5 GP, 3.16 GAA, .901% svs
Lamourieux has been very solid in Austria so far, finishing his first two seasons with a 2.82 and 2.92 GAA as well as .926% and .922% save percentages respectively. His start to the new season was pretty average though.

Should be all of them ... we also had Kyle Greentree last season, but he went to Switzerland this summer.
