It''s Transfer Season!
|
The NHL playoffs are still rolling along, but the 2020-2021 season is officially under way in Europe and as guys are reassigned, loaned to different leagues and signed as free agents it can be difficult to keep track. That''s why we included transfer notifications as one of the perks of EP Premium membership...because it''s not official until it''s on EliteProspects!
Whether you want to keep tabs on an entire league or just your favorite teams, you can customize your homepage to have them right there in the left side menu or even allow notifications to be sent via email or text message every time a transaction of interest happens. So, the next time someone asks if you''ve heard the news, you can say, "Of course! I get notifications from EP!" TOP TEN MOST VIEWED PROFILES LAST WEEK
?
- Kris Versteeg - The 14-year pro and two-time Stanley Cup champion?retired in April, but after telling?some great stories on Spittin Chiclets, a whole lot of you got curious...
- Dominik Bokk - After spending the past two season?in the SHL on loan from the NHL, the plan was for Bokk to come to training camp this fall and compete for a spot on Carolina''s roster, because the schedule has changed, so have?his plans to start the season. Last week, it was announced that the 20-year-old would be loaned to the Krefeld Pinguines of the DEL in his native Germany.
