I've noted that Voynov's case is definitely worse than all of the other ones I've mentioned in other posts. My point is that Edmonton has taken chances on those with issues (legal or not) in the past and has had a good amount of success in doing so.

As for your question, well, his wife is still married to him, so I guess that he'll still stick around too.

I'll restate from earlier: "In general, there seems to be evidence that shows that the abused are known to cling to their abusers for a variety of reasons and that- just because they're still together- doesn't mean that the relationship isn't still abusive."

Once again, not a definitive stance or statement, but I've said all I can with the information available to me. I would do my due diligence before even considering acquiring him and then, before following through, I would involve Connor and perhaps the whole locker room to get a grasp on how they'd feel about it.

If those within the locker room would take issue with it, I wouldn't pursue it. If they wouldn't, I'd cautiously pursue the possibility.

I edited my post prior to your response. Sorry for my slow ass editing skills.

It appears Barrie is available but it’s too bad we couldn’t make it work....especially since he will be a free agent after next year

The edited phrase from my previous post:

"As for your question, well, his wife is still married to him, so I guess that he'll still stick around too, but we won't know whether it'll be abusive or non-abusive cohesion. "

Nonetheless, your last two paragraphs are what I would do too. If they're alright with it, I move forward with the deal. If not, well, that's a different story.

LeBrun is reporting that the Oilers have asked about acquiring the rights to Mrazek but the Canes are still trying to sign him

New blog is up btw.

I'd be interested in pursuing Mrazek though.
