With the departure of starting goalie Rick DiPietro in the expansion draft, the Cleveland Falcons find themselves lacking a starting netminder - a problem they've not had to deal with since joining the league 4 seasons ago.Who will fill the void? Rumors swirling around Cleveland have the Falcons targeting Marty Turco, spotted here with Cleveland GM Doug Deutsch. Several other teams have shown interest in Turco, and the auction is far from over, but Cleveland seems to have a leg up in the Turco sweepstakes...
* Two interesting notes: first, that picture is actually me posing with Turco at the NHL All-Star fanfest in Dallas in 2007. Second, the sweet Dave Ellett replica jersey I am wearing in the photo was purchased in Toronto in 1995 -- former Snow Dogs GM John Santore was with me (he bought a Rod Brind'Amour Flyers jersey), and we were on our way home from a mini-RHL conference at Jean Duteau's house in Ottawa...
so what's the deal with these RHL GMs having pictures taken with ex-NHL players? 2nd one today. I don't think I have ever appeared on one.
ReplyDeleteMy only claim of fame is to have had a beer with Torrie Robertson, goon extraordinaire of the Hartford Whalers in the 1980s, a couple of years after he retired from the NHL.
Nice pic! :-) Fits in perfectly with the UFA market...
