Zucker's story seems to have many similarities to the Austin Watson story. Watson was drafted in the 1st round this year and lived with his grandparents in Michigan at 12, while his family move to Florida.

Your updates are having the effect that mine did when I started doing them on the RPI thread about eight summers ago, namely keeping the thread on the first page. This year we are averaging over a page of posts per day, and even more than that recently.

Brock Trotter is headed to the KHL (The Russian Super League) to play for Dinamo Riga in Latvia for $250,000 (at a lower tax rate) this season. That's better money than he'd make in the AHL, and Riga is a tremendous city.

Here is an article in English about Trotter. The Elite Prospects site is still reporting this as a rumour but it seems pretty legit.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
The Canadiens made Trotter a qualifying offer a few weeks ago, but this $250K KHL contract is probably 2-3 times larger than the AHL money he was making last season. When you add in the tax implications -- probably 40% in Canada vs much lower in Europe, you can't blame him for taking the money. If he does well there, he can stay on or parlay it into an NHL gig...

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
Trotter might want to ask Dubbie what he is in for in Russia, but as a single guy he won't be under the family pressure that Dubbie faced.
Trotter isn't going to make the NHL. He's too small for the 3rd & 4th line duty and not skilled enough to crack the Top two lines. If he can stick it out in Russia, he might be able to bank a million dollars playing hockey. Not too shabby.
I'd guess that Trotter was making in the $50-60,000 range at most in the AHL. His current offer from the Canadiens probably was well below 40 G.

He'll be based in Riga, Latvia, which is a highly advanced Euro-Scandinavian port City, with serious charm, lots'o hotties, up-to-date infrastructure and a brand new 10,000 seat arena - he won't event need to deal with Cyrllic writing (Latvia uses the latin alphabet like us) and most people in Riga under 50 speak some english, too. You couldn't ask for a better settup to play in the Russian league.
Dubie had to live in Kazan, which is a tartar city in the center-north of Russia, far from everythng -a far tougher existence, IMHO.

So what was the reason for his departure from DU. Was it cheating on a test as a comment on the Blog states?

I saw this team play UMaine in Portland way back in the 80s, they were tremendous! Completely schooled the Black Bears!!

Howdy Pioneer fans!
Wanted to let you know that my family and I are relocating to the Front Range in just a few short weeks. After settling in, I'd love to meet some of the posters on here and learn more about Magness, the gameday experience, attending Pioneers games, etc.!
Looking forward to cheering on the Pioneers and having a chance to watch more WCHA hockey.
Fortunately, I'll still be able to catch most of Miami's games via the internet machine.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions, welcomed!
