Dude is from Finland and wants to work in the US, how does Canadian holidays affect this process? Not like they need his Canadian visa (or anything from Immigration Canada) to issue a US visa/work permit.
Also the NHL HQ is in the US if they need anything from that side.
Immigration papers always take longer with the Avs. It does feel like they don't want to pay extra to get on the "fast line" like the other NHL teams.

Because his last employer was Winnipeg maybe?

Why aren't they "employed" by the NHL that presumably has HQ in both the US and Canada to avoid issues like this?

It is a separate visa to be employed by a US based team. That processing takes a little bit of time. Also today is Columbus Day in the US, so that's more of the issue.

Yes. All Government offices are closed... although I did see the post man delivering mail earlier, which I thought was odd.

So that jackass not only commited genocide, but also screwed over our goalie situation. Yeah, f*** Columbus.

Its a weird holiday... it feels like most private industry doesn't celebrate it (though I find a lot of east coast companies do), and gov't keeps a lot of functions open but almost all of the offices are closed.
Well now we know he was Jewish, so this is anti-semitic.

FFS Drouin out "longer than expected". With this team that means until Christmas.
Probably hurt a shoulder in game 1. Why did he finish the game?!

Longer timeline screams weeks if not months. Not days.

Just put him to Robidas island for mental reasons and that's the most legit LTIR in a long time.

All jokes aside, this is the last thing I want happening. Because then management will have the excise of "When our starter comes back, we'll start winning"
Best course of action is to just lose with 4giev until they address the problem
