I'm hoping to get back to more content and activity as of the next newsletter - I should have my entire set-up at my new place going (right now, I do all newsletter content at my office, which is exactly where I don't want to be after spending all day here). (I am going to retroactively figure POTW and GOTW, and thank you for those who have continued to send in nominees!) Thank you to Brian and Doug for some fantastic articles this week - some wild trading going on that may put Topeka into the Farley Cup this June. Anyhow, let's get to the action! ********************************************************************* COUGARS FINALLY RELENT; REBUILD UNDERWAY by Brian Leahy, Capital City owner (AP) LINCOLN, NEBRASKA.....For the longest time, Cougars Owner Brian Leahy refused to utter the word, "rebuild". His teams have had some success, but mainly ended up playoff-bound and an early exit. Due to this, draft choices tended to be mid-round and those selected were, on average, mildly successful for the club. With a 15-24-0-1 record at just about the midway point of the season, and with an aging core group of players, ownership finally decided it was time. So, this past weekend, two deals were struck that got the youth movement underway. Slava Kozlov was the first to be dealt and was sent across the state border to the Kansas City Scouts for winger Teddy Purcell, 13 years his junior, and Brooklyn's 3rd round draft selection in the 2010 NSHL Draft. Kozlov had struggled this year, netting only 7 goals in 40 games, though he contributed 27 assists in the same span. His -28 plus/minus rating was an indicator of the struggles the team as a whole has faced this season. Kozlov leaves the Cougars having scored 90 goals and 209 assists during his time with the club. His 299 points ranks 6th on the team all-time list. In another deal, which had its roots a few weeks back, forwards Daniel Alfredsson, Markus Naslund and Joe Sakic were also sent across the state border to the Topeka Tarantulas. In return, the Cougars obtained forward Matthew Lombardi and Topeka's 2nd and 3rd round picks in the 2010 NSHL Draft. For Alfredsson and Sakic, it is a reunion as they are returning to the team from which they were obtained back on May 9, 2006. While Alfredsson has at least a few more seasons left in the tank, Sakic had previously indicated that this season might very well be his last. He said he will evaluate things after the season ends. With the Cougars rebuilding and the Tarantulas on the upswing, what better chance to end things on top? At the same time, Markus Naslund was rumored to be departing the NSHL to go back home to Sweden to for MoDo of the Swedish Elite League, alongside his Peter Forsberg. With the trading of Sakic and Alfredsson, the Cougars also see the departure of their team and alternative captains, respectively, of the past few seasons. After the Monday morning practice, Coach Brian Leahy announced that the other alternate captain, defenseman Paul Martin, would assume the role of team captain while forward John Madden and veteran defenseman Mathieu Schneider would become alternate captains. WHAT'S NEXT? After the jettisoning of the Cougars top 3 points leaders so far this season in favor of the youth movement and rebuilding process, what does the team look to do for the remainder of the season? GM Brian Leahy has made it clear that he is not conducting a fire sale, but that he is speaking to various teams and expressing interest with individual players the Cougars are hoping to acquire. At the same time, he mentioned that he would entertain discussions with other teams if they happened to show interest in players on the Cougars current roster. Leahy is looking to stockpile draft picks and, if the right situation is arrived at, to add to this years roster with young players with future potential. NEWS & NOTES Paul Martin becomes just the 4th team captain in franchise history, following Eric Lindros (1996-97), Luc Robitaille (1999-2005) and Joe Sakic (2006-2009)....Daniel Alfredsson, who had 20 goals and 21 assists in 40 games with the Cougars this season, leaves the team ranked 2nd all-time in goals (159), assists (192) and points (351) in 275 games. His 16 shorthanded goals during that span is a franchise record. ********************************************************************* HAPPY NEW YEAR TOPEKA!!! Sakic and Alfredsson are Coming Back Home by Doug North, Topeka owner TOPEKA- Two weeks after a blockbuster trade that netted the Topeka Taran tulas Jason Arnott, Shawn Horcoff and Sheldon Souray, GM Doug North was at is again. For an encore, Topeka and Capital City engineered a trade that brought two Topeka legends back home. North sent Matthew Lombardi and two draft picks (a second and a third rounder) to the Cougars in exchange for Alfredsson, Sakic and Markus Naslund. "Needless to say, we've changed the landscape of our team the past couple weeks," said North after this latest trade became official. "We are better offensively and defensively as well as bringing some veteran, playoff battle tested leadership into the fold. I like what we've been able to accomplish. Now it's up to the players to play to their potential." Alfredsson and Sakic have come full circle after being dealt to the Cougars 5 years ago when Topeka decided to go with a youth movement and rebuild. "I have a lot of great memories here," said Alfredsson who could be on the Spiders top line with Ilya Kovalchuk and fellow Swede Henrik Sedin. "With some luck maybe we can build a few more here in the next few years." Joe Sakic doesn't have a "few years" left to build those last memories. "This is probably going to be it for me and I want to thank the Capital City organization to let me come back home to Topeka where I had my greatest success not only as an individual but more importantly as a team," said the 2001-02 Gretzky Trophy winner. Sakic lead Topeka to 3 Western Conference finals and to 2 Farley Cup Finals before losing to Lydonville in 2003 and to Long Island in 2005. "Maybe the third time will be the charm for me with these guys. I know it will be more of a secondary role for me but I hope to contribute what I can." SPIDER BITES: Not to be lost in all the hoopla is Markus Naslund as the winger will join the team's third line with Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky. He could also see time on the team's second power play unit. "This trade gives us great flexibility," said North. "Three weeks ago we were a 1 or 2 line team....stop them and we were in trouble. I think we now have 4 lines that can generate some things." ********************************************************************* WEEK NINE/TEN RESULTS AND INJURIES: Houston Aeros 3, Brooklyn Fourteenth 4 HOU MIKE RICHARDS (1 goal, 2 assists, 1 hit, 8/10 FO) BRK ALEXANDER OVECHKIN (1 goal, 2 assists, +2, 5 SOG, 1 hit) BRK DAVID KREJCI (1 goal, 1 assist, +3, 1 hit, 11/15 FO) INJURY: HOU PATRIK ELIAS (1 gm) Lyndonville Blades 2, Brooklyn Fourteenth 1 BRK PETER BUDAJ (34/36 shots, 7/9 GR) LYN BRENT SEABROOK (2 goals) LYN DEREK ROY (1 assist, 1 TA, 13/19 FO) INJURY: LYN SCOTT HARTNELL (0 gm) Long Island Berserkers 5, Brooklyn Fourteenth 4 LIB ZDENO CHARA (2 goals, 1 assist, 5 SOG, 3 TA, 1 hit) LIB EVGENI MALKIN (3 assists, +2, 6/8 FO) LIB JIRI HUDLER (2 goals, +2) INJURY: BRK BRENDAN MORRISON (0 gm) Buffalo Bulldogs 2, Brooklyn Fourteenth 1 (SO) BRK MIKE McKENNA (35/36 shots, 5/5 GR) BUF CAM WARD (35/36 shots, 3/4 GR) BRK DAVID KREJCI (1 assist, 6 SOG, 1 TA, 12/17 FO) INJURY: BRK DAVE STECKEL (2 gm) Lyndonville Blades 4, Buffalo Bulldogs 5 (OT) BUF DION PHANEUF (1 goal, 1 assist, +2, 1 hit) LYN RYAN KESLER (2 assists, +2) LYN JASON POMINVILLE (2 assists, 2 TA) INJURY: LYN DREW STAFFORD (0 gm) Topeka Tarantulas 3, Buffalo Bulldogs 4 (SO) BUF DION PHANEUF (1 goal, 5 SOG, 2 TA, 6 hits, 53 AC) TPK HENRIK SEDIN (2 goals, 5 SOG, 10/13 FO) BUF MIKE RIBEIRO (2 assists, 1 TA, 1 hit, 9/15 FO) INJURY: BUF MARC-ANDRE BERGERON (2 gm) Pittsburgh Hornets 2, Buffalo Bulldogs 3 BUF MIKE RIBEIRO (1 goal, 3 TA) PIH BRANDON DUBINSKY (1 assist, 9/11 FO) PIH PATRICK KANE (1 goal, 1 TA) INJURY: PIH STEVE BEGIN (6 gm) Long Island Berserkers 5, Buffalo Bulldogs 4 BUF JORDAN STAAL (2 assists, 6 SOG, 3 TA, 5/5 FO) LIB VINCENT LECAVALIER (2 goals, 7 SOG, 1 TA) LIB TRENT HUNTER (2 assists, +2, 6 SOG, 1 TA, 2 hits) INJURY: BUF MARK RECCHI (0 gm) Brooklyn Fourteenth 1, Capital City Cougars 4 BRK ALEXANDER OVECHKIN (1 goal, 7 SOG, 1 TA, 2 hits) CCC DANIEL ALFREDSSON (1 assist, 3 TA, 1 hit) CCC SLAVA KOZLOV (1 goal, 1 assist) INJURY: BRK TOM GILBERT (0 gm) Kansas City Scouts 5, Capital City Cougars 3 KCS JOE PAVELSKI (1 goal, 2 assists, 5 SOG) KCS ALEXANDER FROLOV (1 goal, 2 assists) KCS RICK RYPIEN (2 goals, +2) INJURY: KCS MATT NISKANEN (1 gm) Minneapolis Massasauga 9, Capital City Cougars 3 MIN ANZE KOPITAR (3 goals, 2 assists, +3, 6 SOG, 1 TA) MIN RUSLAN SALEI (1 goal, 3 assists, +4, 1 TA, 2 hits) MIN PHIL KESSEL (1 goal, 2 assists, +3) INJURY: CCC KYLE WELLWOOD (3 gm) Pittsburgh Sound Chasers 2, Capital City Cougars 3 CCC DANIEL ALFREDSSON (2 goals, 5 SOG, 1 TA) PIT JAROME IGINLA (1 goal, 1 assist, 6 SOG, 1 TA) CCC SLAVA KOZLOV (2 assists, 2 TA, 1 hit) INJURY: PIT SAKU KOIVU (2 gm) Long Island Berserkers 2, Corner Creek Green Calves 1 (SO) CGC CHRIS MASON (27/28 shots, 6/7 GR) LIB EVGENI MALKIN (1 goal, +2, 5 SOG, 10/13 FO) CGC MATT CULLEN (1 assist, 3 TA, 1 hit, 7/10 FO) INJURY: LIB BRUNO GERVAIS (5 gm) Kansas City Scouts 2, Corner Creek Green Calves 1 KCS KEVIN WEEKES (40/41 shots, 2/3 GR) KCS CAM BARKER (1 assist, 4 TA) KCS JOE PAVELSKI (1 goal, 1 TA, 1 hit) INJURY: CGC CHRIS KELLY (0 gm) Brooklyn Fourteenth 2, Corner Creek Green Calves 0 BRK ALEXANDER OVECHKIN (1 goal, 1 assist, 8 SOG, 1 hit) BRK DAVID KREJCI (2 assists, 12/19 FO) BRK PETER BUDAJ (16/16 shots, ShO, 2/2 GR) INJURY: CGC BRIAN GIONTA (0 gm) Buffalo Bulldogs 0, Corner Creek Green Calves 2 CGC CHRIS MASON (35/35 shots, ShO, 6/6 GR) BUF STEPHEN VALIQUETTE (30/32 shots, 6/6 GR) CGC KIM JOHNSSON (1 assist, 3 TA) INJURY: CGC DANIEL SEDIN (0 gm) North Calgary Hawks 3, Florida Hellcats 5 FLO VACLAV PROSPAL (1 goal, 1 assist, 2 hits) FLO BRAD BOYES (1 goal, 1 assist, 5 SOG, 1 TA) FLO DAVID BOOTH (1 goal, 1 assist, 2 TA) INJURY: NCH WADE REDDEN (1 gm) St. Michael's Privateers 2, Florida Hellcats 4 FLO JAROSLAV HALAK (37/39 shots, 9/10 GR) FLO MATT STAJAN (2 assists, 3 hits, 14/18 FO) FLO CHRISTIAN EHRHOFF (1 goal, 1 assist, 1 TA, 1 hit) INJURY: STM J.P.
