New Slovakian defenseman to Luleå

[Predatore]

Luleå has signed Jaroslav Obsut, 27-year old defenseman recently with Manitoba in the AHL.

I hope this will not affect Johan Fransson's ice-time.

There are 8 Slovakian players in the SEL now.
Robert Dome
Richard Lintner
Dusan Milo
Jaroslav Obsut
Ratislav Pavlikovsky
Richard Pavlikovsky
Lubomir Sekeras
Stanislav Valach

.. but I have a feeling that Milo and Valach will not stick around for a very long time.

Luleå now have 9 defencemen - but with Petter Nilsson out and Skrbek getting weird game misconducts it's seems ok to pick up another one

I think Fransson will play - after his recent displays

[Tampa GM]

The game miscounduct on Skrbek yesterday was wrong. It was T Berglund who should have got it.

Milos family left for Slovakia a couple of weeks ago and I dont think that Milo will end this season with MODO.

What is Valach doing in SSK anyway? Helping out their J20 team or what?

[GoGoHuselius]

i've seen Obsut a few times in the AHL (with Worcester and Hershey if i remember correctly). a solid pick-up, IMO, by Lulea. could put up some decent numbers.

Pretty much yes.

Stanislavs uncle is Tibor Gregor (the swedish hockey federation), it was he who arranged for Stani to play for SSK.

Can you prove this? He just started playing tonight in a Moose game.

[Predatore]

well basically every Swedish sportpage/hockeypage have reported it.

Here's the link to Luleå hockeys official website

Vancouver hasn´t released him yet, Jaroslav and Luleå have reached an agreement however. Luleå Bears expect to have Obsut in the lineup by thursday.

[zecke26]

he's playing tonight as well. maybe they need him for the week-end when the AHL teams normally play 2-3 games.

Winniepeg Sun have an article about Obsut and his contract, or should it be contracts...?
http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Winnip...08/280498.html

"Is Jaroslav Obsut leaving the Manitoba Moose? If you subscribe to Sweden's Norrbottens-Kuriren newspaper or if you're a fan of the Swedish Elite League's Lulea hockey team, then you probably think he is.

If you're Obsut himself or a member of the Moose front office, then you are strongly proclaiming that he isn't." - Winnipeg Sun

"Somebody started a rumour in Sweden and everybody's taking it seriously." - Jaroslav Obsut

I think this part is the most funniest...:
"The Swedish newspaper's sports department was reached by phone yesterday, but no one there could speak English." - Winnipeg Sun

Luleå on the other side claims that they have a contract with Obsut´s signature!?
