Nope, it's the great Anton.

Huh? Not an option? I guess playing overseas in other leagues is a better option for the players than playing in the NHL right now.

Here's the TSN article:

How can they play in the NHL if there is a lockout?

Well clearly its DB's fault that the NHLPA hasn't accepted one of the offers.....

I've just read Marc Crawford is the head coach of Zürich Lions, so it's obvious how this all came about...

The team will never win with Brown as the captain.
