Craig Moore signs for Stars. Just goes to show he prefers playing Dundee to probe even considering coming back to us I think he prefers somewhere where the British players aren't treated like second class citizens.

Craig Moore signs for Stars. That’s a good bit of business from the Stars.

ICYMI not an elite signing, but an elite player signing elsewhere.
Chad Smith to Murrayfield Racers! For few pounds a week I would guess, strange move to say the least.

Looks to me that Braehead are in big trouble with this Intu business. Not great for us either to try entice theses guys back, but worrying for Braehead not able to tie theses guys up. Would be a great shame to lose Braehead as I think our rivalry with them has taken over from Dundee.

I think making multiple signings at the moment is very risky. I cant see how rinks will be able to open with enough seats to make any season viable. I think outdoor sports such as rugby/football may be okay come the end of year (with reduced fan numbers to accomodate some form of distancing) but i cant see it in smaller indoor venues during winter months and given the tempetature/greater risk of air borne virus. Although maybe Dundee are going for a reduced budget signings strategy so they wont lose as much if/when the season doesnt even start or is delayed.

Until there is a proven cure or new treatment that reduces death to almost zero I cant see indoor arenas being feasible or viable as a business. No club could survive for long on 30 % seating capacity. Also I think its wrong for clubs to be taking season ticket money from fans not knowing if there will be a season at all. And its impossible to even confirm what seat numbers are available. It may be an option to barely survive by charging more for streaming games if import limit is reduced to say 8 or less. But u doubt that would generate enough income. I think sitting tight maybe the best strategy for the time being as there will be a lot of imports needing jobs and wanting less for a wage.

I can't see any way that it would be viable for clubs with attendances limited to say around a third capacity. For me who has asthma sitting in any enclosed environment with a thousand or so others is a step too far at the moment, I can't attend till this things beaten.

I think most are right wait till we find out if we're even having a season, I think Todd and hutchy will have guys ready there just waiting on being told yes or no for season and how many imports if it has to be reduced, I also think if it is reduced and we do have a season it's perfect opportunity to get some you get brits up and training and playing, I have asmtha as well Joe and hate wearing a mask it's really obstructive to my breathing but I feel at first when indoor events are allowed this will be mandatory

The social distance rule is going to sway any possibility of a hockey season Clubs need bums on seats the UK needs to be in agreement on social distancing as the Elite League is a UK league I would say if we are not dropping pucks in October then the baw is burst We will all need to wear face coverings If you risk assess the situation what's the chances of all 10 teams say 250 players going an entire season and not catching virus and taking a team out for weeks I really can't see a 2020/2021 season,the eihl must have a drop dead date in mind where a big decision needs to be made either way

Things are obviously up in the air, but you've got to sign players as if the league will go ahead surely. If it doesnt happen then players dont come and we dont pay them, sounds blunt! October has been mentioned for football crowds so possibly a shorter season but I think it will happen. Less imports for this season as a one off? Making the Craig Moores and other Brits the cornerstone of the team, they should be anyway imho.

Going to be a very different looking Flyers team when hockey can resume again and we won't be the only team to have big changes as guys will want a job guaranteed which we cant offer yet. Might not be a bad thing but Finucci was one you just expected to be back. Good luck to the guy.
