The most confusing aspect of the OJ case is why the African community so strongly defends him and pins him as the victim. It's one of those rare cases where race becomes a focal point when it really shouldn't.

The SHL is a league for Swedish hockey players..

Sweden on average produces an elite player every 2-3 years.. If I'm correct, I believe you have to play in the SHL of you're a swede before leaving for NA.. That's why there are a couple really good players in that list, and a couple that we have never heard of. By no means is that list a template for what to expect from Borgman.

You don't see a massive outpouring of support for Cosby from the African community right now.. And racist cop incidents are through the roof.

I'd sign Markov for a year why not.

If the season goes badly:

Trade Bozak, JVR and Markov at the deadline

If the season goes well:

Awesome

At 38 years old he likely wants more than a 1 year but if nobody has offered it so far, why not sign with a Habs rival and show them up for not signing him
