An article from the newest edition of the Toronto Star newspaper has caused quite a stir amongst the North Star's faithful. Former first round draft pick and pending UFA Grinder, Ruslan Zaporozhets has reportedly put his house, worth $1.6 Million, up for sale.

Long time girlfriend Yi Lin was spotted giving house tours over the past week to potential buyers. With the Toronto North Stars most recent playoff demise against the Buffalo Stampede, who bested them in a four game sweep, this move has raised some eyebrows. Could the core of this once strong team be dissolving? With Nick Brain confirming his desire to leave the team for a contender, one wonders if selling his house is Ruslan's way of saying the same.
