Simmsey "accidentally" leaked it on Twitter yesterday but didn't say which team. If he is coming to the EIHL I would guess there is a press embargo hence why he didn't name the team too. He never said he had signed in the uk. He could of signed with zagreb and playing cardiff in their pre seasons? Only time will tell. Will be one hell of a signing if he signs in this league He also said to a "rink” near you, couldean a smaller team

That's a hell of a signing for whoever has him. Huge physical guy who can playing top minutes over here. Would love it to be us but would expect him to be out of our budget. Belfast would be my guess. I saw him play in Colorado. He cant really skate, so not sure about playing top minutes but he'd be coming to the UK as the toughest in the league hands down.

I'm sure his size and physicality would have him playing very good minutes in the EIHL, most big guys skating looks poor. His skating is actually regarded as being pretty good compared to other guys in the enforcer role. Bare in mind that's at the NHL level. He would be one of the toughest that for sure, would be surprised if he did make the move to the EIHL mind you.

Couple things are intriguing me at the moment with Flyers still a fair few to announce and the rest of league more or less there.
There are a few players not signed up - Tristan Harper, Ben Davies, Jordan Crowe, Sam McCluskey, and all our last season brits.
Now Harper will he wander far from Scotland, I doubt it, Braehead have signed a boy as injury cover so doubt he will be heading there, Dundee look to have their team signed, so that leaves us and Edinburgh, who also look pretty healthy number wise for forwwards.
Davies, we know the rumours with him.
Jordan Crowe, apparently has a place at Glasgow law school, but is playing Elite according to people who know him, so again where, not beyond possibility that he is happy as a part time player with Flyers considering his studies, and home town boy.
McCluskey is already rumoured to have signed for us, and certainly hasn't been announced elsewhere.
If the Flyers play this right, with a mixture of last season's brits and a couple additions, 4 line hockey, and decent 4 lines is a possibilty. Or even really strong 3 lines with decent player to give rests and cover injurys.
Anyone heard anything about these players? We can but hope!

Have heard mcclusky has signed for us. I agree with you. If we play some brits in the right positions we can play four line hockey!
