I stumbled upon a translated copy of an article aboout Gainey possibly looking to trade down instead of up and how he would probably grab a d-man in the first round. The translation, of course, is quite good... for a laugh! The 'good blow of shoe' is my favourite! :) Habtastic A defender Gainey confirmed that the Canadian will avoid choosing a guard with the first turn. A defender would be more logical. “We misons on good hopes in the guards, it recalled. We have also some good attackers. On the other hand, our best hope in the defenders (Alexeï Yemelin) is not available since it signed a contract in Russia. I even think that it is about a two years agreement without escape clause.” The names most often advanced are those of Mark Mitera, an American of Michigan which plays university of Michigan, Ty Wishart, an Ontarian of Belleville which carries the colors of Cougars of Prince George, and Nigel Williams, an American of Illinois which patinated in the team of development of the United States of less than 18 years. Speed “The new” national League will oblige the teams to modify their approach with the fishing out. The small players equipped with a good blow of shoe will be required. “The speed becomes a factor determining, known as Gainey. Speed, balance on shoes and the agility are from now on essential qualities. The small players will not be any more victims of discrimination as in the past.” Gainey has as advanced as the acquisition of Québécois is a priority. “It is important to have local players in our formation, has it says. This is why we must be better informed than the other teams on the Québécois players. “On the other hand, it is unjust to compare the current team with those of the years 1960 and 1970. Our objective is always to fish out the best player.”

Hilarious!

Bad news about Yemelin, however.  They'll have to "fish out"  a new young defender in his place.  I thought he was ready for the AHL, if not the NHL, from what I saw at the World juniors.
