Still no Voynov; Monarchs Camp Day 1

New Hampshire Union Leader: Monarchs Roster Takes Shape
[...] Nolan and Loktionov arrived in town this past week to report to Monarchs training camp. Voynov, however, did not and his status remains a mystery.
It was rumored that Loktionov might opt to go play back home in the KHL in Russia and that could be where Voynov ends up. But for now, the 22-year-old Loktionov, who played in 39 NHL regular season games and two playoff games, is here and he wants to play hockey.
“Here, I just I need to play my best game,” Loktionov said. “I played 30 games. I think it’s good for me to take it step-by-step, one game, then 20 games, then 40 games. Hopefully I will play this year a full season.”

Hey, Dean (Luc, Tim, Mrs. A…), it’s (probably) not too late to do the right thing

The names may not be engraved on the cup yet. You might possibly still be able to change the list and put Andrei Loktionov’s name on. Here is a comment by Niesy, promoted from the “Loktionov Omission is Unconscionable” post.…

Is Bettman itching to cancel 2012-13 sooner than you think?
by Quisp •
Gary Bettman appears to be operating under the assumption that (1) the players will fold, just like last time, and (2) the fans will come back, just like last time. I wouldn’t bet on either. I would be willing to…
