Reader poll: three Euros?

Published 11:47 pm Monday, January 16, 2012

In this week’s WHL notebook, the lead item is about how the Portland Winterhawks could end up playing with three Euros by the end of the season. The gist of it is that if Nino Niederreiter is returned to Portland by the NHL’s New York Islanders, the Winterhawks won’t have to get rid of either Sven Bartschi or Marcel Noebels to make room. That’s one more than the roster limit, but the CHL doesn’t want to penalize any players because of a player getting sent back late. So what do you think of that?
