Goalie Available

[Detroit Cherni]

Jani Hurme is available in Atlanta.....

Jani, is 30, and in the final year of his $1.3 million contract. He'd be a great back up for any team in the NsHL, or for those that are willing to spend the money, a great number one on the farm.

Also, in Atlanta, we're looking for a defensemen. Now I'm not going to go on the tirade that other's, *cough**Columbus**cough*, have, but if there's a deal out there that could make sense, we'd like to make one.

Contact GM Dave Cherniwchan for more details.

I doubt the NsHLPA permit Hurme to be down on the farm

Why not? As long as his salary would be paid in full, which because he's 30 and a 73OV, he'd make his entire 1.3 million in the minors. but you're right, he might not report, and may not accept a demotion. But then again, if he wants to play, he may have to swallow some pride, and take the demotion.

(Speaking as the Director of the NsHLPA)

Jani Hurme officially will report to the minors due to the fact that his salary will be paid in full. Although he would absolutely appreciate an opportunity to be traded to a team that will use him as a full time backup. Jani is willing to renegotiate his contract to do so.
