  1. Wally Grisold from Toronto, Canada writes: That new Russina League looks inviting, Chris Simon and John Graham, wow top-notch draws or what. If Bill Daly and the boys in the Ivory Tower on Park Ave. want to cause trouble over in Russia, Gary Bettman should send over a couple of his hand-picked owners to run some teams. Would that cause KAOS or what. Bankrupt in a week. Even the Russia millionaires couldn't cope with the likes of Del Baggio and his crowd.

  3. Michael Mule from United States writes: Having been to Russia, I can't see anyone of any consequence running to join the new league. It's a place you want to leave not go to. Joining a new league in North America is one thing, Russia is quite another. Maybe they can send JB over there to steal some more intellectual property that will help him figure out how he can nick a team from there to play in Hamilton without having to do any of the work.
