the new guy is coming in to replace Nate Fleming who is going back home. Your right they do have some monster bodies at the back, pity it doesn't translate into reducing the number of shots Chubak faces they have also conceded the most in the league. Chubak has also faced more rubber than any other goalie so far and by some margin. going by elite site he has faced 1537 shots next is kalemba and he is 200 less than that

Definitely shows that size isn't everything, they've got big units who like to fight but don't protect their net. Contrast with our import D in Haines, Delahey, Rioux and Paquet who are all a reasonable size, none of them are fighters or monsters but they're not small or lightweight either and I think they offer us a really solid defence.

Import number 17 on Cardiff's books with that latest signing and with Hayes off to Sheffield, looks like the run in this year may become the battle of the chequebooks.

I can understand Cardiff's investment, no better way to fill your new shiny rink than to have them skating out as defending league champions next season. Forward thinking from a club board, it'll never catch on lol

Dundee coach is staying so can start planning for the future. That's not our way.
Let's keep on blundering along.

Dundee sign Craig Moore up for another year. That's one missed due to the Flyers way, cheap local guys just offer them a few quid-they should be playing for nothing anyway. Other teams take guys on pay them a fair wage to be pro hockey players and get the benefits from it. Sometimes I really despair over how this club is run.

Craig was offered £25 a week to play for Flyers, imagine embarrassing yourself offering that pittance, at last Sundays game against Edinburgh he scored a good goal,put himself about,set up a few plays and won MOM.

However it seems local guys are getting drowned out of the game anyway with import levels rising constantly. A full import quota and 2/3 good brits would be a start, with respect, our locals possibly outside of Gunny wouldn't play in any other team in the EIHL in my opinion.

copied post for the caps forum about hayes. from scott neil
Stolen from the Evening News:
Capitals ‘no choice’ but to sell top scorer Hayes
Co-owner Scott Neil today revealed that he felt he had no choice but to allow “unsettled” 25-goal Ryan Hayes to leave Edinburgh Capitals for title-chasing Sheffield Steelers or risk losing him for nothing to a team in North America.
Neil has agreed compensation with the Yorkshire club for the 26-year-old, the Elite League’s leading scorer. Standard Elite League contracts are unique in the fact that both the club or player can walk away from the deal giving 14 days’ notice. However, the league’s ten clubs have a gentleman’s agreement in place that they will not poach each other’s players.
Neil, who played for Steelers between 1992 and 1997, cleared his former club of any wrongdoing and said: “Ryan had been unsettled for a while but he’s been sticking with us. We got a call from his agent on Monday night saying more or less that he wanted to go back to a team in North America and the longer it went on the worse it would get.
“If Ryan did leave the country it would mean we get nothing, so rather than allowing that to happen, we knew that Sheffield had been showing an interest in him for quite a while. We have no issue with Sheffield doing this. They are now paying for his International Transfer Card, flights and equipment whereas, if he left for North America, we would get nothing.
“Of course it’s disappointing to lose a top player, but in this one instance this is the best outcome for the player and the club who are making the best of a bad situation.”
Hayes is the fourth import to leave the Caps this season and, although a replacement has been promised, a clearly disappointed player-coach Riley Emmerson, said: “This is something I’ve never seen before, but it’s a business decision. Sheffield are really pushing to win things and they’ve just got the leading scorer in the league and I wish Ryan all the best.
“I want to say to our fans: Our season’s not over. We still have a great group of players here and we’re only four points out of a play-off spot.
“It would be kind of funny if we rallied, made the play-offs and knocked out Sheffield – we have beaten them three out of four games this year.
“Hayes was unhappy and Scotty did what he felt was best for the club.
“If we’re prepared to let our leading scorer go, maybe this will act as a wake-up-call to the rest of the guys.”
