In case you missed it: Roy Lang on Brad Lukowich, and on the Mudbugs' so-called high road.
Muscutt's position in the latter article is more than disingenuous -- his owner has already been quoted as saying Louisiana's worker's comp laws would make it difficult to sign an NHLer, and the Bugs have never been about development (though believe it or not, Dan Wildfong and Jason Campbell were once newbies). The team is going younger now because they have no choice. Not that you can blame him, what with all the championships, but no coach complained about the vet rule more loudly and publicly than Muscutt. And that was back in the halcyon days of five per team.
