What's an Eu player worth at today's rates ? Currently about 5.4% less than yesterday!

All joking aside the falling £ v $ due to Brexit vote could hinder signing across the EIHL including us. Most North Americans will view their wages in dollars & a sudden 10% -20% drop makes UK less attractive

My only concern (and its me being very critical) is his point spread from last year. 77pts from 63 games looks terrific on the face of it, good enough to finish 2nd in the league. I'm not convinced its that clear cut. Manchester basically played run and gun hockey all season they were amongst the top scoring teams in the league but were the 2nd worst for goals against. Sisca had great points playing on a line with Scarsella and Salazar those 3 were in the top 20 scoring. Sisca and Scarsella in the top 3 they were obviously a very good combination. I only hope we find Sisca as good a partner to play with. His points total is a little misleading to me- 25 of his points came against Edinburgh. 56 pts (32 games) came in our conference. He did struggle (as did the storm obviously) against the Erdhart conference teams with only 21 pts (29 games). I'm not knocking the signing at all by the way, he is a very good player and will I'm sure do well for us, I just wouldn't expect similar numbers from him this season. One thing he will be good for us is in 3-3 overtime, his speed and scoring ability could be a real difference maker in that format. There are many ways to explain these things. Our D was awful because of Pacha's style of how he sets the team up - the D is always pushed high and there was a lack of a "stay at home D man". We had bloody Matt Caria for most of the season who, despite his decent points, was not doing any back-checking and is one of the laziest players I think I have ever seen play. Sisca in particular was always willing to tidy up down his own end when it was required to do so. The Erdhardt conference games are always naturally more difficult as the standard of opposition is higher. Given the team he was on, I would say 21 points from 29 games is actually a very decent return. Scarsella and Sisca both undoubtedly benefitted from each other, but whilst having a good partner obviously always helps, I don't see either struggling alone - they were both perfectly capable of dancing their way through a defence and scoring a blinder. Gutted to see him go tbh, one of few imports I wanted to keep. You've got a good one there.
