Brett Skinner has signed with Amur Khabarovsk according to the Brandon Sun.

Skinner is like most North American players who bolted for the KHL: a NHL "never-will-be". Trotter signed for one year in hopes of making the NHL, most likely Habs, someday. Esche was poached in his prime because the cheesepuffs wouldn't sign him again.

I do, though I think one problem is generally small arena sizes, 5-6000. In certain cities, the fan support is hardcore, such as Amur Khabarovsk, who sell out every league game (7100 seats in the arena). In others, there's more direct competition with football, and certain cities do tend to prefer that over hockey. But overall, I think as the league stabilises, fan support will continue to grow. Ak Bars, Salavat Yulaev, SKA, Yugra all have very solid support. In other towns, it's a bit more difficult - the fans are there but the money isn't, or similar cases. But in every case, the teams are in cities where there is interest and support for hockey; none are like the Nashvilles and Atlantas of the NHL, in the sense of being a new club put somewhere without any hockey history. And this last is something I think will be very important for the future of the KHL.

Another example is Dinamo Riga. Latvia is hockey country (football is viewed as a game Russians play; on an aside, it's interesting - in Estonia, hockey is the fringe sport that "only Russians play"), but prior to the rebirth of Dinamo Riga in the KHL, the sport was dying in Latvia for a multitude of reasons. Since the arrival of Dinamo and the KHL, hockey is being reborn, both in terms of attendences and in terms of youth hockey teams being revived, or expanding beyond previous levels.

Is Zednik still in the KHL...don't see his name there, but don't see his team either I think it was something like LOKOMOTIV ?

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl is still in the KHL (Western Conference, Tarasov Division).

The latest news on Zednik I found in a quick search (don't have time for deeper right now, about to head to work) was this article, in Slovak: http://www.tasr.sk/26.axd?k=20100722TBB00146

This just says, short form, that both Zednik and Zbynek Irgl were released from Loko and Pavol Demitra signed. For Irgl I know he's been signed by Atlant Mytishchi, but I haven't found any news about Zednik signing a contract anywhere yet.

I'm sure something will surface in the near future.

Ok thanks. I read one thing about it weeks ago and wasn't able to find any more info.

that sucks for him.....guess his injury didn't help last season. Was he signed only for 1 season? I was sure it was more.

He was never the same after that bruins series when his face was broken. Same thing happened to Kariya, was off to a great career, then a cheapshot changed everything.

And bettman still believes the NHL doesn't need enforcers.
