Elite Prospects points out that Rauman Lukko says it has signed Kurtis McLean (apparently; can't read Finnish), which would mark the first semi-official departure.

From our old buddy Scott Lauber, photographic evidence that Ben Franklin is stuffing the ballot box again.
Congrats to the Spitfires, Memorial Cup champs. Check out that picture with Mickey Renaud's sweater front-and-center.
