Think like anything in life. Money talks. More money to play the game will win out. And I’m sure the big 4 offer bigger pay cheques. Would suck to lose the top boys, but it’s to be expected. If Tom stays I have faith his little black book could produce some equally good players.

Doing the rounds Laj to Sheffield and Osterberg to Belfast Osterberg apparently got an offer from Belfast a week before the deadline and he was obviously told what to do with it. Typical Belfast being nasty Laj apparently likes it here

Import hockey players are paid mercenaries, they play hockey to make a living.
If Flyers offer X and Steelers or Giants offer XXX virtually all of them would jump at the chance to make more bucks, who can blame them, I'd do the same.
I'd like to see all of our top players back for next season but realistically I think some will be tempted away.
Hopefully if TC remains as coach he can pick out another few stars for us.

I think the only other consideration for likes of Lajunesse and other young imports is that at Fife they are a major part playing loads ice getting plenty points. At a Belfast or Sheffield they will find themselves most likely not on powerplays as often and maybe on any of the 4 lines. Especially Laj may think another season at Fife now he knows the league knows the coach would.do him good, and hopefully an appropriate wage offer is made.

Our ownership know the market We will pay our top players like for like with the best Belfast cost of living is as expensive as London We just don’t have as many Troy’s or Kyles as the big 4 have Once a Flyer always a Flyer Clan fans think Shane Owen going there next season I very much doubt that

How to Belfast justify 4 coaches There’s hardly space for players when 4 coaches on bench

Goats, Schaber and Bloodoff didn't (at least not at first for the latter). They all had offers from the bigger teams and stayed. I'm sure Owen has had offers since and has stayed as well.
