Sergachev too, although I think Les Bolts can be forgiven for this one. Double leg break. Also, I haven't heard that he'll be ready for round 1 game 1, but he's been practicing in a non-contact jersey.

ETA - recent Tampa Bay Times article implies 98 won't return in the first round.

Some states have access to the new IRS free filing system. I know because one of my legislators has been complaining about it. Says it will confuse people who have to pay state income tax. Of course, Florida has no state income tax, but when H&R Block is a donor, you do what they ask.
