Friedriksen to Miss the Draft?

Nils Friedriksen, the goalie from Lillehammer, currently with Narvik of the GET-ligaen may not be in physical attendance at the draft. Storms in the North Sea have delayed KLM Flight 1172 from Trondheim to Amsterdam. With the youngster poised to miss his connection to Moscow, where cup winners Moscow Menace host the entry draft, rumors swirl about how this might affect his draft position. The last player to miss the draft through was Bob Timmons in season 61. While not an exciting prospect, he failed to attract any attention in the lead up to the draft and fell off the board, being forced to sign a free agent offer a few weeks into the season. We’ve just spoken to Nils in the Trondheim Airport, and he is nervous about the delay, but excited for the chance to take his game to the next level. Breath will be bated around the GET-ligaen tonight, while friends, family, and teammates wait to see what becomes of the new Norwegian net-minder.
