Who is playing in Europe this year?

[DocEmrick]

Do we have any solid numbers on the NHLers and where they are going to go this season? In PR, Malkin/Crosby are both heading to Europe, correct? Or is Crosby just a rumor?

What about other team's players? I assume all of the euros are going back to their home countries, or the K.

[Gaucho]

I am.

Dave Molinari ‏@MolinariPG
Jagr signs to play for Kladno in Czech Republic, perhaps because of deep respect and affection for team owner. Who just happens to be Jagr.

[Tomas]

Pavel Kubina to HC Vitkovice (Czech Extraleague), AFTER he serves the 15 games suspension given to him during the last lockout 2004.05 for the referee abuse.

Jagr and Plekanec will start playing for HC Kladno on Wednesday. Kladno actually contracted the biggest Czech arena (O2 Arena in Prague, the regular home arena for Slavia Prague) for several home games, including the game against Slavia this Wednesday. Kladno arena capacity is ~8,000, whereas O2 seats 18,000 spectators.

Anton Khudobin (BOS) to Atlant Moscow Area.

Nail Yakupov to Nizhnekamsk.

Datsyuk to Kazan.

Daugavinsh (OTT) to Riga.

Plus Havlat will practice with Kometa Brno (CZE) and take care of his newborn baby girl. However, he said he would not play in Europe this year, because no insurance company is willing to insure him against injury. Go figure.
