I just noticed Luke Adam is with Tahoe. Spent years in Europe and showed up stateside to captain this team. What's the tie? I assume they gave him some money comparable to the DEL.

No chance he's making as much as he would in the DEL.

KK - Is there some other tie to management? Seems like a move out of nowhere.

This THN article from last October links the early Luke Adam signing with Head Coach Alex Loh's philosophy of recruiting "the best players you can get your hands on. You can generally mold guys to what you’re expecting, but it’s hard to teach talent.”

Maybe Luke ran the numbers, and concluded the gambling in Tahoe has better odds than in Eastern Europe.

Just getting wind of Kalamazoo’s new arena being built. I love the current 5,400 seat K-Wings Stadium, but look forward to the new downtown arena for K-Wings Games and Western Michigan University Division “1” hockey games and basketball games, which will seat between 6,000 to 6,500. Way to go Kalamazoo!
