Linus Omark Bound for Russia
Jonathan Willis
April 08 2009 12:14PM
According to a European newspaper, Linus Omark has agreed to join Moscow Dynamo for the 2009-10 season. A translation has been provided at HFBoards.
Many thought that they would go to the NHL. But the huge money in the Russian KHL was more appealing. Today both Johan Harju and Linus Omark signed with big club Dynamo Moscow. - I can confirm that it is true, says player agent Patrik Aronsson.
There's bound to be blame on both ends; some will blame Omark for not doing whatever it takes to make the NHL, while others will blame the Oilers for being unwilling to give Omark a guaranteed roster spot. There's truth to both points of view.
There is, however, one point of view which cannot be argued. Linus Omark, one of the finest offensive talents currently outside the NHL will not be an option for the Oilers next season, and that's undoubtedly a bad thing. By way of comparison, here's his stats line and that of Fabian Brunnstrom:
- Omark: 53GP – 23G – 32A – 55PTS
- Brunnstrom: 54GP – 9G – 28A – 37PTS
When you consider that Omark was a full year younger than Brunnstrom, those totals become even more remarkable. Based on the performance of players coming from different leagues to the NHL, Gabriel Desjardins developed a projection system to give a ball-park idea of a player's likely contribution. Here is his projection for Omark over an 82 game schedule:
- Omark: 82GP – 28G – 39A – 67PTS
That's hardly an iron-clad number, but it does give us an idea of what players who post Omark's numbers in Europe typically do in the NHL. Whether Omark would have been able to achieve that or not is an open question, but one thing is for sure – after an excellent job by the European scouting department to identify a late round pick, and after years of development in Sweden, Linus Omark was a very intriguing option for the Edmonton Oilers next season. The fact that he isn't coming over can only be regarded as a negative, and if in fact the reason for his defection was that the Oilers refused to guarantee an NHL roster spot (as has been reported), somebody should lose their job.
This is the same team that's spent roster spots on marginal talents like Liam Reddox and Jeff Deslauriers just in this past season – there's no reason not to guarantee Omark a spot as 14th forward. This was a low-risk, high-reward scenario, and if that was the sticking point it was a bad one.
April 08 2009, 12:18PM
Well that sucks... But nothing surprises me this season.
Any word on how long the contract is? Is it so bad if he spends a year in argueably the 2nd best league in the world before coming over here?
What does this mean for the Oilers with respect to Omark's rights going forward? Do the Oilers have a certain period of time to get Omark under contract before he becomes a free agent available to any NHL team?
Just with his upside alone, it seems that he would be more useful than Pouliot. Doesnt make much sense. Maybe more details will come to light in the next few days.
April 08 2009, 12:26PM
@ smytty777:
AFAIK, the Oilers continue to control Omark's rights.
Another BLACK mark on the organization! Is that ok if i say that Alan Watt!!! LOL!! Or am i in trouble!!!
One can hardly count on the clownshoes running this team to do anything remotely intelligent, so it's easy to dismiss this as yet another screw-up in the ongoing grocery list of suck.
However, regardless of his perceived talent, I'm not convinced that adding another 5'9" smurf to our roster would fill many of our needs. Swapping him out for one of our EXISTING smurfs, though, now THAT would be decent.
@ Jonathan Willis: As long as the Oilers retain his rights I don't care if he plays another year in Russia. If they lose his rights this is a completely inexcusable mistake.
I thought if we had his rights no other teams (including the KHL since the agreement) could sign him to a contract?
getting really sick of this Russian League horse s**t.
April 08 2009, 12:43PM
@ Colin-FMNF:
Nah, the KHL sign whoever they want. They've been poaching players all season.

I don't think rights has anything to do with it. It's only if he is under contract that factors in.
Which he isn't.
April 08 2009, 12:55PM
@ Rick: Ah that would make sense.
@ Jonathan Willis: I guess it's only an issue when the NHL wants to poach KHL players then?
dumb. The only way to put the NHLs tolerance for this.
April 08 2009, 12:55PM
So what are the Oilers options going forward with him? Will he be available for us to sign next year? If so, perhaps a year in another league developing instead of sitting in our press box taking up a contract is a good thing.
April 08 2009, 01:03PM
@ moose66:
Moose66! I see you on here you old rascal.
April 08 2009, 01:07PM
Wait...wait...Does this mean we didn't make the playoffs?

He should be available next year too, depending on his KHL contract. But I don't think he'd be sitting in the pressbox here.
Not really suprising. I would have been more suprised if this team pulled its head out of its ass and actually gave him a roster spot.
@ Jonathan Willis:
What would have we had to pay him?? I thought I heard 900 000 with a one-way contract?? If it keeps Reddox off the roster next season I would have done it.
April 08 2009, 01:16PM
No maybe not, but as a 14th forward what if he turned out to be a Fabian Brunstrum. FB has been up and down all year cause he isnt ready. Thats the problem with these youtube players. They look flashy and they can score goals but then again so could Rob Schremp. How is that working out for him.
Most of that stuff on youtube would never ever happen in the NHL.
April 08 2009, 01:22PM
Thinking on it a bit more...do you think the Oilers were holding off because of the possibility of Eberle cracking the lineup?
April 08 2009, 01:24PM
Eberle isnt cut out to play in the AHL right now, let alone in the NHL. Ill put 100 bucks he will be back in someones basement in Regina.

Short answer: no.
Seriously, I don't think there's any chance that Eberle cracks the roster next year.
@ Jack "FMNF" Bauer:
Exactly!!!! People are getting pretty excited over this guy because of a few fancy goals they saw on Youtube. There is no way I'd guarantee him a roster spot without him proving something in at least the AHL. But then again I'm not a scout, and I've only really seen his Youtube highlights - not one of him going into the corners or making any defensive plays - things that have to be considered.
April 08 2009, 01:33PM
I don't necessarily believe Eberle will make it either...just tossing it out there as a stupid idea to try and comprehend the club's stance on Omark.
April 08 2009, 01:37PM
@ offside: @ Jack "FMNF" Bauer:
Actually, I'm excited because 21-year olds who are elite SEL players generally turn into pretty good NHL players.
I will differ from your opinion that the Oilers should have offered him a guaranteed roster spot.
I will agree though that someone in the organization screwed the pooch on this one.
I can understand management taking a stand on the point of not guaranteeing a roster spot: This team is in no position to be ensuring any player they'll have a spot next year. They will likely have a new coach and new team dynamic. Players will be fighting for their jobs in Edmonton, as they should be. If Omark came over and he wasn't the best option for his place on the roster, he shouldn't be there.
Taking a stand on the money however makes very little sense. Offering the rookie max was important for a few reasons:
1) Omark gets a sense that the team does believe in him by offering money commensurate to what he'd make in the KHL.
2) If he makes the roster he's making the money he wants. Incentive to ensure that he does actually perform.
3) If he fails to make the roster and isn't happy, the team could have negotiated his release to Dynamo anyway.
Anyway, the digital mob will no doubt form up on one side of the issue or the other. It's unfortunate for the team ultimately.
As long as we don't lose his rights, I'm not too concerned about this. If we keep his rights, we get a chance to ensure that his great season this year wasn't a one-off, and we get the benefit of one of our prospects being continuing his development in a terrific league. All without the commitment of dedicating valuable cap space, a roster spot, and it keeps farther from the dreaded "50 contracts" limit that has everyone up in arms every year.
Obviously the big downside is not having a player on the team who could possibly help out quite a bit. We won't have him for next year, but if he tears up the KHL, then I'm sure the team will be a lot less hesitant to offer him a 1-way deal or a more guaranteed spot in the lineup next offseason.
A foolish, unnecessary mistake. It is not as though the organisation feels that roster spots are so valuable that they need to play chicken with a good, lottery ticket prospect. I have said all along, Omark needed a North American audition at the very least, and if all it took was a 14th forward roster spot, it seems a small price to pay. Simply another example of a team that cannot get its priorities straight at the management level.
This is especially galling since the Oil look to be re-building next year.

Just to be clear it is impossible to offer a "one-way" deal on an entry level contract. See section 9.4 of the CBA: Minor League Compensation. Each SPC entered into with a Rookie in the "Entry Level System shall automatically be deemed to be a "two way" SPC with a minor league salary equal to the Paragraph 1 Minor League Salary set forth in such SPC"
JW: On his rights, I thought that you get 2 years to sign a player who you picked in the draft. If you did not sign him in that time frame then one of a couple of things could happen:
1. You could lose his rights and he re-enters the draft (if I'm not mistaken this is how we got Jarret Stoll after he was originally picked by Calgary).
2. If you can't come to an agreement (you offer money and said player says no), you can get draft compensation back.
I'm sure someone will correct me here if I'm wrong.
@ oilerdago: There are fairly different procedures depending on whether the player played major junior, college or outside of north american. I'm not sure what the different criteria are, but I think Mikhnov is a better comparable than a Stoll (who played major junior). We draft Mikhnov in 2000 and didn't sign him until 2006 or something like that.
April 08 2009, 02:39PM
@ oilerdago:
It doesn't work that way with European players - the Oilers (for example) still own the rights to Bjorn Bjurling.
A guaranteed roster spot still wouldn't have done this deal. Obviously Omark was going for the cash and no NHL team would be dumb enough to pay that kind of cash on an entry-level contract AND lock themselves into a roster position.
Hey, the guy's YouTube videos are pretty awesome. But so were Schremp's and look how that worked out.
April 08 2009, 02:44PM
did Omark come to training camp in Edmonton this year or last year?
Just thought I'd mention...
Jordan Eberle is starting to heat up in the AHL now. He's got 6 points in 7 games and looks like he's figuring out how to score at that level. He looks like a player.
About Omark, if we still have a year or two to sign him after this year I'm okay with this; he could probably use more developmental time before jumping to the NHL.
That said, I am sick and tired of this problem with the KHL, though. Talk about a one-way street.
That kids SEL's numbers are really, really good.
Kristian Huselius played in the SEL as a 21/22 year old and put up 21-23-44 in 50 GP. As you've pointed out previously, there are other favorable comparables as well.
As such, I hope he never crosses the pond for you guys.
@smytty and jw:
Thanks for clarifying.
This is still a dissapointing decision however, if we retain his rights all is not lost.
All of this does explain Tambellini's inability to comment the other nite when he was asked about the contract status on the radio.
Seems to me with all the changes coming, they are afraid to get locked in with yet another smallish player. Not saying that's right, but the org's having a change in philosophy regarding players acquisition.
Going to be a lot of movement (my bet) this summer.
The issue with Omark's rights is this - under the old CBA, a player could be a "defected player" if they played in a rival league in Europe. In that situation, you held their rights forever. For example, 10.2 of the current CBA keeps the definition, which is:
"who, never having been under contract to any Club, but as to who the NHL negotiation rights now or at any time hereafter shall reside in any Club, has contracted or shall contract with such an unaffiliated club."
HOWEVER - section 8.6 explicitly says that even for players in European leagues, you lose their rights after 2 years. This was based on a presumption that we'd have a transfer agreement by now.
So the NHL has unilaterally said screw it, we're going back to the old "defected player" rule. The NHLPA is fighting it.
The result will determine whether we still hold Omark's rights after June 1st.

The problem is the Oilers couldn't give him $900,000 as the maxim on an entry-level contract is $875,000. Another problem for the rookie max is Omark was drafted in the fourth round, not the first round. The Oilers were burned once with Comrie and they weren't going to be burned a second time. We all remember the Comrie holdout after his entry-level contract expired and that he wanted out. The Oilers aren't going to be given rookie max contracts to 4th rounders. It's about time they put their foot down on these prospects. If he wanted a guaranteed roster psot, it's even worse.

Only applies to first rounders
@ Mike: Mike, thanks for that explanation. So basically this is completely up in the air still? With the NHL pushing for retained rights and the NHLPA pushing for free agency (not surprising)?
I don't consider this to be anywhere near our top concerns right now. I'm sure Omark will benefit playing a year with the big boys and since he'll still be available to us next year, ROCKIN'. Even if he IS ready for the NHL level of play right now, you can bet Oiler management has their plate full. They won't have the opportunity to worry about coddling another young player.
April 08 2009, 03:55PM
Man, just when things cant get worse the KHL kicks the Oil in the gonads. Why does the NHL respect the contracts of the KHL when it's obvious it doesnt go the same way? We're looking for a pitched battle in a guerilla war. Time to stop marching in our olde timey red uniforms and get in the trees.

Bang on as to motives - the NHLPA loves anything that leads to UFA status.
Apparently the NHL has had initial success with their position, but the NHLPA is appealing it. More information is available in this thread on hfboards:
They're a pretty smart bunch in the business forum.
Oh, one further note - the reason it's going to court is that the NHL and NHLPA had a letter in place in 2005 which basically said the two-year rule would apply when a transfer agreement with the IIHF was signed. If one couldn't be signed, the "defected player" rule would come back into effect and the two sides would meet again.
What actually happened was the transfer agreement was signed, but then not renewed as of May 2008. So the NHL is arguing that the intention of the bargain was that 8.6 only applied when a valid transfer agreement existed.
On the other hand the NHLPA is saying that the precise written terms (enter into a transfer agreement with the IIHF) have been completed, so 8.6 is the rule.
April 08 2009, 05:21PM
Thanks for the link and explanation, Mike.
Don't like the prospect enough to guarantee a roster spot. Nobody should be fired for failing to bow to the demands of a an unproven, egotistical, little Sh!t. It's a real stretch to believe that Omark's offensive numbers would translate accross the two leagues in a way consistant with other SEL players: Fact is Omark lacks size and speed; but compensates with attitude and good hands... Smells like EUROSHREMP to me. I want to see if he's good enough to find open ice on a north american sized sheet before I annoint him a 60pt guy.
April 08 2009, 05:33PM
@ Chris:
Where are you getting this idea about Omark's attitude? Have you seen a scouting report questioning it? I never have.
JW: There are some pretty bitter comments coming out of Omark's mouth in some news releases today.

Nissan Bolsters Academic Support Program for Canton, Miss. Schools with $500,000 Grant
CANTON, Miss. – A $500,000 education grant announced today by Nissan will strengthen academic support programs for elementary students who are not making sufficient progress in their school curriculum.
The $500,000 grant will be used by the Canton Public School District to employ two new academic interventionists who will provide targeted instruction and support to students needing the most intensive academic assistance.
Canton Public School Superintendent Dwight Luckett Sr. said, "We are elated with Nissan's generous donation and continued support of educational opportunities for students in our community. For the district to reach its full potential, we are committed to working even harder to continue meeting the challenges before us. We can accomplish our mission much faster when community and business leaders like Nissan partner with us to offer hope, opportunity and inspiration to our students."
Nissan also announced the donation of two vehicles to the Canton Career Center operated by the school district. The center prepares high school students for careers in automotive service technology, collision repair and other fields. The donated vehicles, a 2012 Nissan Xterra SUV and a 2013 Nissan Altima sedan, were manufactured at the company's vehicle assembly plant in Canton.
Luckett added, "We are very grateful to Nissan for its commitment to enhancing programs offered at the Canton Career Center, where students are trained for careers in the skilled workforce. The donation of two Nissan vehicles for instructional purposes will be invaluable in giving our students hands-on training to help keep them abreast of the latest automotive technology."
The Canton plant is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013. Nissan has awarded nearly $1.2 million in company grants and contributions, in-kind gifts and student scholarships to the school district over the last decade. Additionally, Nissan employees volunteer many hours annually working with students in the classroom and as one-on-one mentors.
Dan Bednarzyk, vice president of manufacturing for Nissan's Canton vehicle assembly plant, said, "At Nissan, we believe it's vital that every child is offered a quality education to have the best opportunity for a lifetime of success. Helping Canton schools succeed is especially important because the district serves our local community and many of its students will go on to become future Nissan team members."
The two donations were announced today at a celebratory event at Canton Elementary School. Participants included teachers, administrators, students, parents and community leaders, along with local Nissan managers and employees who volunteer in the schools.
Senator Kenny Wayne Jones of Canton said, "I have always been a strong advocate for education because it is essential to achieve the equality and opportunity that every child so richly deserves. I am pleased to see Nissan, the schools and the community standing together to help ensure a quality education for every one of Canton's children."
The Nissan Canton vehicle assembly plant began operations in 2003 and employs more than 5,000 people with an annual payroll in excess of $200 million. Nissan has announced plans to move assembly of the next-generation Nissan Murano to Canton from Japan beginning in 2014. Canton employees currently build the award-winning Altima, Armada full-size SUV, Xterra mid-size SUV, Titan and Frontier pickup trucks, and NV full-size commercial cargo and passenger vans. Canton will also begin building the all-new Sentra compact sedan in 2013.

"These heels were amazing. I bought them for our cruise we took for our anniversary and being on a boat, one is worried about tripping and slipping. Not the case with these shoes. They aren't slippery at all. My feet didn't hurt after wearing them either. All in all, these are a GREAT pair of heels. Buy them if you need a pair of silver sandals/heels."

Oh, that joke.. anyway... it finally gets interesting. So FT would lose the tournament but that is what "supposed" to happen. What if future Lucy already tinkered the situation already. Jellal wouldn't be near the daimatou if it weren't for the zeref like aura which is future Lucy. He probably wouldn't even be on FT's team. Future Lucy could have change the present already.
sig made by me
10,000 dragons descend upon the capital.... I think that qualifies for quite an apocalyptic event, doesn't it?
Now then, with that apocalyptic event looming in the not-so-distant future (like, 2 or 3 more days or some such?), this begs the question: Was there a specific event that occurred at the Grand Magic Games that essentially called all the dragons to the place? Because the Dragons have been shown to be quite intelligent, so I'm not so sure that they would just descend on the capital for no specific reason.
So assuming that's not the case and there was no cause, Future Lucy won't be able to change anything. It would be an inevitable event that no amount of time traveling would be able to fix. But if there is a cause, then there's a chance the Dragon Apocalypse can be prevented. Kinda looking at Sting as the singular cause. Seems he's planned something big, and that would be the perfect catalyst if the carrying out of his plan inadvertently doomed everyone.
Maybe Wendy calling the ghost (or whatever she did back then) of that dragon in the graveyard had soemthing to do with it. The dragons might have felt it's presence and for some reason decided to attack.
Or maybe it's just because this is the 7th tournament (or at least 7 years) after the acknologia attack? (magic number 7)
The tournament or it's date seem to be the cause itself, since in the past, the magic tournament was called The Dragon King's Festival. Igneel himself mentioned way before the tournament was even reborn, that they all will meet at it.

|A Knight of the Golden Circle
|Lamdin P. Milligan was a respected attorney in the Huntington area when he was arrested, tried and convicted of treason by a military commission. In 1866 the Supreme Count of the United States handed down a famous decision in the case of Ex parte Milligan invalidating the trial, conviction, and death sentence of Milligan and reaffirming the constitutional right to trial by jury under the law. U. S. Lesh, friend of Milligan, relates his understanding of Milligan's case in this publication.

Graham Mrs. Glenn Henderson Mrs. Charles Reynolds Gerald W. Morsches FOREWORD After he had completed his education in law school, Lambdin P. Milligan came to Huntington to live. Following a period of inactivity due to poor health, he entered the practice of law and continued in that profession until his death near the end of the nineteenth century. Milligan delivered a speech in Fort Wayne which aroused the ire of the military and led to his arrest, trial, and conviction for treason. The address was reported by a representative of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER who was present on the occasion. Unfortunately, the local files of the Fort Wayne newspapers during the Civil War period are incomplete and the Staff of the Public Library has never been able to locate any reference to this speech. In 1866 the Supreme Court of the United States handed down a famous decision in the case of Ex parte Milligan invalidating the trial, conviction, and death sentence of Milligan by a military commission. The decision reaffirmed the constitutional right of every American citizen to trial by jury under the law. Milligan was locally revered as an able attorney and held the profound respect of the legal fraternity and the people of Huntington generally. Mr. Lesh recalls that some of the older citizens described to him the enthusiastic community welcome which Milligan received on his return to Huntington after he had been liberated from prison by the decision of the Supreme Court. Milligan was a businessman as well as an attorney. He built the brick business building which still stands on the west side of Jefferson Street just south of the Wabash Railroad. In an earlier day this was known as the Milligan Building. U. S. Lesh, a young bachelor, came to Huntington in 1891 to practice law. He soon became acquainted with Milligan and spent many idle hours with the aging attorney in the latter's law office. Mr. Lesh recalls that Milligan was a partisan Democrat and engaged in the bitter internecine struggles of that party. The following publication was originally delivered by U. S. Lesh as a speech before the Civil War Round Table of Chicago, September 20, 1945. The address was later published in the July 26, 1947, issue of the MICHIGAN ALUMNUS. The Boards and the Staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County gratefully acknowledge the gracious permission of both author and publisher to republish the article and present the account with the assurance that it will prove interesting and informative to residents of the area. U. S. Lesh was born in 1868 in Rock Creek Township, Wells County, Indiana. He attended the local public schools in his native county and then studied for a brief period in a preparatory school. He matriculated at the University of Michigan Law School and received the bachelor of laws degree from that institution in 1891. Thereafter, he practiced law at Huntington, Indiana, intermittently throughout his life. Mr. Lesh's father, originally a Democrat, had voted with the Republican Party beginning with the first election of Lincoln in 1860. U. S. Lesh was nurtured from his earliest years in Republicanism and was always a stalwart Republican. He very early supported the regular organization of his party in Huntington County and liberally contributed his time and money to its welfare. He served successfully as County Attorney of Huntington County and City Attorney of the city of Huntington. Mr. Lesh formed many close contacts with the Republican state organization. On the election of Ele Stansbury as Attorney General of the state of Indiana, that official offered Mr. Lesh the position of Assistant Attorney General. Lesh accepted the post and served in this capacity from 1917 until 1921, during the administration of Governor James P. Goodrich. In 1920 the Republican State Convention of Indiana nominated Mr. Lesh for the position of Attorney General, and Indiana voters elected him to that high office in the same year. He was re-elected in 1922 and served during the administrations of Governor McCray and Governor Branch. The high light of Mr. Lesh's service in the legal department of the Hoosier state was the work which he did in bringing the Indiana State Fair under the general government of Indiana. Constitutional barriers seemed to forbid the integration of the State Fair Board into the state government. However, Mr. Lesh created the necessary legal basis; the step was taken and the Supreme Court of Indiana upheld the action. After retiring from state office, Mr. Lesh formed a law partnership with his two sons and practiced in Indianapolis until 1938. Thereafter, he returned to Huntington and resumed his professional association with his brother, Eben Lesh; that connection continued until the death of Eben in 1955. Mr. Lesh, the dean of the Huntington County legal profession, still maintains his practice in Huntington. Mr. Lesh is the author of two books--A KNIGHT OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE (1911) and THREE PROFITEERS (1934). I can remember the occasion rather well. It was on a winter evening, not too many years after Appomattox to have obliterated the memories. My brothers and sister had gone to a spelling match held in a one-room log schoolhouse a good half-mile upstream on the Wabash River, which skirted our farm. After mother had completed her evening chores, she and father settled down in front of the open hearth for a quiet, restful evening- -mother's nimble fingers busy knitting socks for her many boys and father perusing the latest copy of the CINCINNATI WEEKLY ENQUIRER. As I was frail and timid--not nearly so robust and bold as you might infer- -I was permitted to nap on top of the wood box which flanked the hearth instead of being sent to my trundle bed in an upper room. Because I was then too young to grasp the trend of the conversation, I cannot recall even the substance of what my parents were saying; but Zumro, Milligan, and Knights of the Golden Circle were names frequently mentioned. They were spoken of in such subdued tones and with such tense emotions as clearly to indicate to me that my parents were talking about something too terrible for others to hear--except small children too young to understand. That my mother's younger brother Jonas had been starved to death in Andersonville Prison and my father had found it necessary to sell his village store and take up farming because he had lost so many of his customers by quitting the party in the faith of which he had been reared, may help to explain their feelings. Zumro had been the community physician during the war period, but, for even more compelling reasons than those which caused my dad to shift his home and occupation, at the time of which I speak he had removed to the West for his future home. Milligan was a leading lawyer of Huntington. Both Zumro and Milligan had been active members of the secret order, Knights of the Golden Circle. But unknown to Milligan, Zumro had his fingers crossed when he joined. Many years later, while taking my course in law at Ann Arbor, the case of Ex parte Milligan (4 Wall. 2) was assigned for special study as the leading authority in American jurisprudence in defining the rules governing the jurisdiction of military courts and in stating the circumstances under which they mayor may not rightly supersede the civil courts in the administration of the laws against public offenses, including that of treason. 1 Obtaining the book which contained a report of the case, I sought a quiet place in the library where other students would not disturb and read the opinion with absorbing interest. Those early memories of having heard my parents discuss Milligan and the Knights of the Golden Circle no doubt tended to emphasize my interest. A year or so later, when I came to the bar at Huntington, I soon became well acquainted with Milligan, and after I was married, his wife made the first social call on my wife. On different occasions we were entertained at Milligan's home--the same house from l which he had been taken on that early October morning in 1864, to be charged, tried, and convicted of treason. With these personal touches tending to keep the Milligan case recurring to my mind, I concluded to get a better understanding of the facts out of which it arose. Since the case--as decided by the Supreme Court--did not involve any question of the guilt or innocence of the accused but only whether the military commission had jurisdiction to hear and determine that question, the evidence adduced before the commission was not in the proceedings before the Supreme Court. I obtained and carefully read, however, a copy of the evidence as reported by Benn Pitman, recorder for the commission. The Knights of the Golden Circle was organized in 1856 at Havana. Its purpose was to create a new empire embracing the territory within a radius of sixteen degrees, or about 1,200 miles, of Havana. Thus, it would extend as far as St. Louis on the west, and Baltimore on the north, and include all of Central America and much of Mexico. As a dominant feature, it contemplated monopolistic control of the four staple products--sugar, rice, tobacco, and cotton. And, of course, the cherished institution of slavery would never be questioned in that extensive proposed empire. At that early period it was hoped by the leaders of the secret order that President Buchanan would permit the withdrawal of the Southern States from the Union without resistance. And while the Knights of the Golden Circle probably did exert an influence in placing in Buchanan's cabinet some traitors--as evidenced by the extent to which the seceding states had acquired control over military forts, arsenals, and naval vessels even before the inauguration of Lincoln--there is little to indicate that President Buchanan would 2 have tolerated the secession program without a conflict. After Fort Sumter had been fired on, there no longer was any need for such a secret order in the seceding states. Its scheme of organization, however, formed a convenient cover to hide the disloyal designs of the Northern sympathizers while forwarding their own plans to hinder the North and thereby help the South. In furtherance of these secret plans, they first changed the title of the organization from Knights of the Golden Circle to American Knights, and, later, to Sons of Liberty. Their local "temples" assumed variant names in different localities. To illustrate, the local unit or temple of which Zumro was a member came to be called the "Men's Bible Class." But whether this was taken by its members to conceal its identity or assigned in derision because it received a shipment of pistols labeled "Sunday-school Books" I do not know. They held some of their meetings in the log schoolhouse to which reference has been made. These brave knights, with their holy temples, became most numerous in Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, and Missouri. They made a strong effort to carry their plans by aid of the ballot. In this, so nearly were they successful that in the state elections following Lincoln's first inauguration, they gave Governor Morton of Indiana a hostile legislative body, which refused to make any appropriation to help finance the war activities; and they almost succeeded in electing Vallandigham governor of Ohio, even though he was then a fugitive in Canada. This ballot-box program was materially helped by the absence of so many of the loyal voters in the service. But Governor Morton was perhaps the most aggressive and resourceful of the war governors, and through the aid and influence of Secretary of War Stanton, he obtained loans from private sources sufficient to carryon. Failing to carry its plans by ballot, the secret order then pushed forward its military plans more vigorously. They contemplated an armed uprising. Initial steps were to capture the arsenals and stores of munitions in the four states mentioned, free the Confederate prisoners in those states, arm them with the guns and munitions captured, and then march to points where they could join rebel armies. It was a most ambitious concept. Morgan's raid through Kentucky, into Ohio and Indiana, was perhaps intended as the first active touch-off. And for awhile it looked as if it might 3 prove a blazing success. But it did not take so strongly as expected. It was premature. The secret order had not completed its military Plans. This was the next phase: Indiana, on battle blueprints, was Divided into four sections, the National Road being the division line East and west, and the north and south line also passing through the Approximate center of the state. Each section was to be under Command of a major general, subordinate only to the Supreme Commander, Vallandigham. Milligan was so named for his section of The state, northeastern Indiana. But this time the alert loyal leaders did not await another Morgan raid, nor an armed uprising. Nor did they care to chance Another election. They took the initiative. On warrants issued by General Hovey as military commander of the military district of Indiana, the leaders of the secret order were arrested, taken to Indianapolis, and on charges preferred against them, were booked For trial before a military commission of army officers. While Milligan stood head and shoulders above the others—he was six Feet four—he was more of a brain and character leader. There Was no duplicity in his words or acts. He believed in the doctrine Of the right of a state to withdraw from the Union, and openly so Advocated. This sincerity of conviction and courage of expression perhaps tended to augment his influence. At an early morning hour on October 5, 1864, an unscheduled Train made an unannounced stop at an unusual place, near the Milligan Home about a mile below Huntington; and Captain Place, Jr., the Provost marshal for the military district of Indiana, accompanied By James Bratton, local "provo," proceeded to the Milligan home, Aroused him from his sleep, and escorted him to Indianapolis, Where, along with Harrison H. Dodd and several other leaders of The secret order, he was charged with treason. The case against Dodd, who had been serving as the State Grand Commander, was First taken up; but after the commission had overruled his objections To the jurisdiction of the military court and the evidence had Progressed far enough clearly to indicate that chance of acquittal Was nil, he "walked out" on the commission and was next heard of From Canada, where his friend Vallandigham was sojourning. This coup, accomplished perhaps by aid of some of the Guards, caused so much elation among the disloyal element and the 4 people of the South that the commission had no choice except to proceed with the other cases. And because of his outstanding ability and character, the case against Milligan was pushed to the front. Dr. Zumro also had been arrested and was being detained without charge against him. Whether this was being done to lend color to his pretended friendly relations toward Milligan while gathering information against him for use of the government, or in anticipation that an emergency might arise for requiring him to testify against his will, was not revealed. However that may have been, he became the star witness against Milligan. After hearing the evidence and arguments of counsel, the commission found Milligan guilty and pronounced sentence that he "be hanged by the neck until he be dead." But when the papers reached the White House for the approval of the President before the execution could be carried out, Lincoln was in no such haste as had been the military commission, for there they remained pigeonholed, unacted upon at the time of his assassination. Following his succession to the presidency, Johnson promptly took up the papers, approved the proceedings of the military commission, and ordered that sentence be carried out without further delay. Accordingly, May 19, 1865, was fixed for the execution. This situation precipitated a new tug-of-war. Milligan then filed in the Federal Court for Indiana an application for a writ of habeas corpus, thus attacking the jurisdiction of the military commission. The two judges, of which the court was then composed, being unable to agree, the cause was certified to the United States Supreme Court for its original and final action. An exciting race commenced as to which tribunal would first be able to take action, for the time which had been fixed for the hanging would arrive before the case could be placed in proper form for decision by the Supreme Court. To meet this situation President Johnson was appealed to for the granting of a reprieve--a delay long enough to enable the Court to decide the validity of the conviction before the death sentence should be executed. But Johnson remained obdurate. Tradition has it that he took a cruise down the Potomac to avoid being further importuned pending the time for hanging; and that since Secretary Stanton had been urging the President to grant the necessary delay for the court 6 to act, not to be thwarted by such a ruse, he signed the President's name to an order which delayed the hanging. However that may be, it was through the influence of Stanton and Morton that time was given for the court deliberately to consider and decide the Milligan case. Because of the importance of the principles involved and the effect the decision of the Supreme Court might have on the course of our future history, counsel of eminent ability appeared. For the government, Attorney General James Speed was assisted by Benjamin F. Butler, who had distinguished himself at the beginning of the war by "shooting up" Baltimore for the permitting of firing on his troops while they were marching through on the way to Washington. And Milligan's local counsel, Joseph E. McDonald and John R. Coffroth, were aided by James A. Garfield, later President, and David Dudley Field, noted lawyer and jurist of New York. The gist of the decision and importance of the principles declared can be reflected from a few brief paragraphs from the opinion as prepared by Mr. Justice David Davis, who had been Lincoln's floor manager in the Chicago Wigwam convention that gave Lincoln his first nomination to the presidency. I quote briefly from the opinion delivered by Mr. Justice Davis: The controlling question in the case is this: Upon the facts stated in Milligan's petition, and the exhibits filed, had the military commission mentioned in it jurisdiction, legally to try and sentence him? Milligan, not a resident of one of the rebellious states, or a prisoner of war, but a citizen of Indiana for twenty years past, and never in the military or naval service, is, while at his home, arrested by the military power of the United States, imprisoned, and, on certain criminal charges preferred against him, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged by a military commission, organized by the military commander of the military district of Indiana. Had this tribunal the legal power and authority to try and punish this man? No graver question was ever considered by this court, nor one which more nearly concerns the rights of the whole people; for it is the birthright of every American citizen when charged with crime, to be tried and punished according to law. The power of punishment is, alone through the means which the laws have provided 7 for that purpose, and if they are ineffectual, there is an immunity from punishment, no matter how great an offender the individual may be, or how much his crime may have shocked the sense of justice of the country or endangered its safety. By protection of the law human rights are secured; without that protection, and they are at the mercy of wicked rulers, or the clamor of an excited people. After stating some of the specific provisions of the Constitution more directly involved and briefly recalling the history of the struggle which led to the adoption of the Constitution, the opinion continues: These great and good men foresaw what troublesome times would arise, when rulers and people would become restive under restraint and seek by sharp and decisive measures to accomplish ends deemed just and proper, and that the principles of constitutional liberty would be in peril, unless established by irrepealable law. The history of the world had taught them that what was done in the past might be attempted in the future. The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man, than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the theory of necessity on which it is based is false; for the government within the Constitution, has all the powers granted to it, which are necessary to preserve its existence, as has been happily proved by the result of the great effort to throw off its just authority. The opinion contains these prophetic words: This nation, as experience has proved, cannot always remain at peace, and has no right to expect that it will always have wise and humane rulers, sincerely attached to the principles of the Constitution. Wicked men, ambitious of power, with hatred of liberty and contempt of law, may fill the place once occupied by Washington 8 and Lincoln; and if this right is conceded. and the calamities of war again befall us, the dangers of human liberty are frightful to contemplate. All members of the Court concurred in holding that the military commission had no jurisdiction to hear and determine the case, and its judgment was void. In Ex parte Quirin and six others, decided by the Supreme Court in June, 1942, (317 U. S. 1) the petitioners cited the Milligan case in support of their contention that the military commission which had found them guilty of treason was without competent jurisdiction. To refute this contention Attorney General Biddle urged, among other things, that the decision in the Milligan case was not good law, and should be overruled. But the Court, in its opinion, did not overrule the prior decision, but distinguished it from the case then under consideration. The opinion points out that Milligan was an American citizen, resident of Indiana, not connected with any of the rebellious states, nor the army or navy; while in the Quirin case, the defendants were foreign citizens, connected with enemy military forces, and on landing on our shore they discarded their uniforms to carryon their activities as spies, thereby forfeiting the protection due prisoners of war. Had the Court overruled the Milligan case, the way thereby would have been opened for the arrest and prosecution of American citizens not connected with the military forces, at any place in the country, on such charges as might be preferred by the military authorities, and before such military courts as the President, acting as Commander in Chief, or other military officers acting by his authority, might appoint for such purpose. It thus appears that the activities of the Knights of the Golden Circle of the Civil War period afforded the occasion for a decision of incalculable value by our highest court during the recent war period. 9

Great chaps lately, all this Kakashi-Obito story is intense.
Obviously, just as there was an explanation to Obito ending up going his path, there's a reason why he saw Kakashi kill Rin. I'm thinking more of a setup by Madara/Zetsu.
Great chaps lately, all this Kakashi-Obito story is intense.
Obviously, just as there was an explanation to Obito ending up going his path, there's a reason why he saw Kakashi kill Rin. I'm thinking more of a setup by Madara/Zetsu.
See I don't think Obito is that important to trick Kakashi into killing Rin. Zetsu could have just kidnapped an uchiha baby and given it to Madara if it were about the eyes. I think the murder of Rin really happened, it is either an accident or Rin is a double agent.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Nah, I think that it wasn't staged by Madara, because it would make Obito's reasons for doing what he does pointless. If all of that had a source in one person, then there wouldn't be any point in changing the world itself. Beside, the current Obito would have been capable of discovering the truth, so he wouldn't continue the plan anymore, unless, he wants to break Madara's last dream right before it being complete and right before his eyes, or he has already altered the plan and the ending to his liking.
I think that Madara himself believes in fate and sometimes he simply acts accordingly to it. It was truly fated that when he was becoming blind, he already had everything he needed right beside him, his brother with another pair of MS. Then he met Hashirama, which actually allowed him to plan and perform this crazy plan. Then, an Uchiha boy "slipped" right into one of his tunnels, just what he exactly needed and at the right time. It would have been great if he had cooperated, but if not, his eye itself would be a great help in Madara's plan one way or the other. Even when Obito was pretending to be Madara, he mentioned more than once about the cursed fate that befall him, the clan and the like.
Madara gives his eyes to Nagato in the hopes that Nagato would someday revive him with Rinne Tensei. So How was Nagato supposed to know to do all that with Madara dead and gone? Did Madara place a Genjutsu command in Nagato's mind? I hope Kishi answers this obvious point.
It's either Madara can see the future, or Madara had a plan to Teleguide Nagato through Genjutsu and Obito was just a lucky bonus.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
i think if obito didn't show up, then madara will use zetsu to play the role of tobi and that may be his original plan.
by the way, speaking of nagato, i wonder how madara activated a "pair" of rinnegan? didn't he use one of his MS eye for izanagi to survive in the battle of VOTE? maybe he used a transplanted eye?
i agree with the fact that obito has his own agenda, he made plans with kabuchimaru, he started the war before madara gave the command, and he revived him without having the 8 and 9 tailed beasts. the question remains...what's his plan??? i don't think he totally agrees with madara.....i sense a backstab from obito (not necesarily meaning he'll change sides from villain to hero though)
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

'Batman Live'
"Batman Live: The Word Arena Tour" comes to Chaifetz Arena for six performances Dec. 7-9.
For the first time in DC Comics' history, Batman - the world's most popular DC Super Hero - is now an all-new, live-action arena spectacular which is taking the world by storm. BATMAN LIVE is a 15 million dollar stage production with an original story featuring a 43 strong cast of actors and circus trained acrobats, a 3D Gotham City landscape, a bespoke symphonic score, custom-built state-of-the-art stage, a 100-foot bat-shaped LED video wall, pyrotechnics and the impressive Batmobile, designed especially for the show by legendary racing car designer Gordon Murray.
Faithfully adapted from the DC Comics characters and stories, BATMAN LIVE focuses on Robin's quest for justice, which leads him to follow in the footsteps of his hero — the mysterious vigilante known as Batman — much to the dismay of his protective guardian, billionaire Bruce Wayne, whom the audience knows is secretly Batman.
This dynamic triangle resolves itself in a non-stop thrill-ride across Gotham City that transforms Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson into the legendary crime-fighters, Batman and Robin. The adventure transports the audience from the Big Top of Haly's Circus to the depths of Arkham Asylum, and from the glittering peaks of the Penguin's Iceberg Lounge to the subterranean wonders that await inside the Batcave.
