Has the news been so slow that we're resorting to picking on developments that happened months ago?
Gogulla clearly has the tools to play in the NHL, but he lacks the gumption. No one could have seen coming how much he didn't give a shit (yea, I'm aware of how he came to the AHL in the first place).
Agreed. It's easy to diss Regier but Gogulla is going because he's going for the money. And going home is usually priceless. European leagues are getting much more $$$ invested into them with new arenas being build in Europe, they are starting to take some NHLers away and guys like Gogulla will have a tough time choosing. Sticking it out in the AHL for a few years and hoping for a big pay day down the road or going to Europe and getting a decent payday, close to home, and job security. Tough choice, but whatever business you're working for, i'm guessing 100% of the people on this forum would do what Gogulla did if they were in his shoes.
