Why the Toros?

The European players could get out of the teams that drafted them, but they'd have to spend a year completely free of any contracts before their rights would be forfeited.

Danny Ferry went and played European ball for two years after being drafted by the Clippers, and far as I know did not spend a year without a contract. Yet, when he returned, it was with the Cavs.

Did Cleveland trade for his rights, or did he sign as a free agent? If the latter, that would indicate the rule is different for US players.

The Spurs 12 man roster is filled. 3 spots on the IL. Therefore you sign Mahinmi and Williams and play them in Austin. Practive with the team whenever possible. That makes sense. I really don't know if the Rampage produce enough red ink for the Spurs to demand improvements at the AT &T. Coyotes pay most of the cost for the team. They have been swimming in red ink since the Iguanas were shut down. Minor league hockey should be played at the Freeman. $10 parking isn't in most minor league hockey fans budget not $5.50 for a beer.
