Aardvarks GM Gunner Gislason has been busy on the telephone with Parker Abuda’s agent, Roger Abuda, aka The Buddha, discussing a new contract. Gislason has until December 2, 2018 to make the signing before Abuda is ineligible to play in the IRHL for the remainder of the 2018/19 season and therefore only allowed to curl for the rest of the winter.
Abuda has been holding out the last two seasons for a more prominent role in the lineup and remains a restricted free agent, property of the Aardvarks, for another three years.
