Might be fun for a guy to fill the net like he used to back in his glory days.

I really hope so, but it has to be done carefully.
A former Euro star could be huge for marketing, merchandise, and attendance. However, the league has to balance that off with ensuring teams can afford these players. I’m a big proponent of a 2 designated player system, where each club can have one star Canadian and one star Foreigner outside of the cap. But there is more than a couple teams that need to get their act together first before the league can grow to that.
