The Attrition must stop.

Players Leaving Early for the Pros:
The list of players bolting for the pros keeps growing by the day. Its getting to be sckening. Again Goon's world doesn't fault these kids for taking the money but I blame the hockey clubs plucking these kids out of school early. I predict there are going to be more.

Last week, Denver lost a top player in Paul Stastny, one of the bigger loses of the off season (by talent but not pur numbers). Paul Stastny was an explosive player that could light up the lamp. It will be interesting to see if Stastny makes the big club in Colorado. The Badgers suffered another huge lose when Joel Paveliski signed a professional contract with San Jose.
