I dont know where you've been but it's pretty much been common knowledge that Brunner was not coming back for the ahl season for a fee weeks now.

According to Brunner's facebook page, I believe it is a done deal.

Then you obviously have not been looking at the right data.

According to Forbes, 18 of the 30 teams are losing money.

I would like to see the data you are describing where 24-28 of the teams should be able to afford the floor now. Care to share?

How many of those 18 teams crying poor spend money that they dont have, or much more than they do, like it grows on trees? Hmmm, let's see, minnesota, washington, pittsburgh, carolina, buffalo, dallas, san jose. I have no sympathy for these teams as they are victims of their own circumstance. Most, if not all, generate enough revenue to be profitable franchises(apparently tha is the goal, not winning stanley cups). As for the rest of them, well, I thi k we can all draw the conclusion here that, save winnipeg, which is playing in a sorely undersized arena, aren't in hockey hot beds, and most are gary's expansion babies. Why should anyone other than the NHL and it's owners be responsible for fixing these problems?

Apparently he was traded by the London Knights to the Barrie Colts for a few picks...

Ian White an 84, but Big E a 77? Flip an 83? C'mon...
