Jonathan reports that Todd Richards is going to San Jose as an assistant, and that Danny Bylsma is the favorite to take over.

It is all about New Haven in Norfolk: In addition to Rumble and May, Mike Butters is the Ads’ new GM. He played two games for the Nighthawks in 1991-92.

I tend to think of Lauri Korpikoski, Lauri Tukonen and Petteri Nokelainen as a group; that Finnish junior national line that was going to send its members — taken within nine picks in 2004 — off to stardom.

Mathieu Darche tells Lindsay it’s Buffalo for him. Eurohockey points out Mark Hartigan to Dinamo Riga.

And RIP, Jerome Holtzman and Estelle Getty.
