From the Star Tribune this morning, in Sid Hartman's column (all Scud
disclaimers apply!):
 
Bad news first: Darby Hendrickson, who left the Gophers to play with the U.S.
Olympic hockey team this season, has signed a three-year contract with the
Toronto Maple Leafs. He will be paid $1 million if he stays with the Maple
Leafs and less if he plays in the minor leagues.
 
Good news: Craig Johnson, another former Gopher, has turned down a final offer
from the St Louis Blues and will play for Lou Nanne's U.S.National team this
spring. Johnson, who has another year of college eligibility remaining, plans
to return to school to get his degree.
 
Hopefully, Craig will be back with the Gophers next year! Darby, we hardly
knew ya!!
