   Summary

   AU - Canon Divergence
   In the weeks after a bus crash threatens to destroy the Centaurs, the team is showing signs of recovery.
   All except their beloved rookie, Ilya Rozanov, who has still to fully regain consciousness.
   His absence has left a gap which they are struggling to fill, even after calling up the best players in their farm team.
   Montreal is one of the teams who suddenly feel the need to trade one of their own, no questions asked…
   Enter Shane Hollander, bruised, disillusioned and angry.
   AU where Ilya and Shane attend World Juniors in Regina but do not actually meet. Ilya still goes first in the draft to Ottawa instead of Boston.
