NHN Cut Ties With Six
T'was Black Monday in North Hollywood, as the Neurosis - still stinging from being swept out of the Superleague semi-finals- cut ties with six players.
The Neurosis announced they will not offer contracts to veteran forwards Morris Zarebski, Jon Iseli and veteran defenseman Dean Cannone. The three gave the Neurosis 18 seasons of service, 521 regular season games and 195 regular season goals. The trio leave the organization with a combined eight Championship rings. Iseli was the Neuroses leading playoff scorer when the Neurosis won it's first title, while Zarebski led the way to the club's most recent Championship.
The Neurosis also bought out the contracts of depth defensemen Mariano Yafuso and Duncan Glaser and depth forward Jerrod Rummel. Glaser was the longest serving member of the three, spending five seasons on the roster, seeing action in 25 games. He was originally a first-round draft choice of now-defunct Flaming C.
"Sadly, age and injuries have caught up to Mo, Ice and Dean. This is a day we've been preparing for for some time now. We brought Blair Roarty and Korneliy Tarasov into the organization, and drafted Nate Lorimer and have groomed them to fill those roles. Guys like Emilio Peckenpaugh, Johnny Barnhill and Bryce Lienke will be expected to move up a seat into the roles vacated by Tarasov and Roarty. We don't expect the Neurosis machine to miss a beat. The right guys have the right preparation to make sure we continue to have the type of success we're used to around here."
