Well, looks like he lasted 14 games for SC Langnau and now they are moving him on. Was shipped to EV Zug yesterday for whatever reason's. Has this guy got a attitude problem or is it an ego thing? I may be wrong but this is his 4th team, if you count the Wings, he has been with this year. The guy has talent; just read his CV from his jnr days and its pretty impressive:

Named to AJHL All-Star first team (1998-99)

Won Rookie of the Year award (1998-99)

Named to Hockey East All-Rookie team (1999-00)

Named to NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team (2000-01)

Named to Hockey East All-Star first team (2000-01)

Named to NCAA (East) All-American second team (2000-01)

Played in NHL YoungStars game (2001-02)

if he had buckled down earlier in GR he should be icing with the Wings now instead of Langfeld. No disrespect to Josh, who did work hard in GR and is getting the rewards, albeit 5 mins a game, but hey he's in the show and Krys is in the snow!! somewhere in Switzerland. Anyone see this guy in GR this year?

Kolanos was not happy in Langnau. And he was not very impressive with his gameplay. I don't know exactly what his problem is.

In switzerland it is allowed to have 5 foreign players in a team. It is normal to sign a foreign player before playoffs. The resaon is very simple. If a foreign player is hurt, you have a new guy ready. I guess he will just play in case of injuries or if the team needs a big change during the series.

Send him back to the Yotes for Laraque :D

YES!!!! I saw he was available now. If you want grit, why not get the best? Him and Guerin/Tkachuk would be excellent playoff roster additions.

I think it's safe to say Kolanos is a draft bust. If he can't find any solid ground, which he clearly hasn't playing for over 10 different teams in a 3 year period, nobody will want him. I thought after the strong pre-season he had with the Wings that he could become a decent player, but his attitude is what's killing him.
