When I first read that Thompson had signed him to ‘bring energy’ to the team, I thought, Jeez, he’s thirty bloody four!!! Then I remembered that compared to some of the others he’s positively juvenile!
He also comes highly recommended by Jared Hagos,....... good luck with that then!

Hagos was garbage so hopefully thats a good sign!

He has quite a history of taking unnecessary penalty minutes. He'll do well then because many disciplined new players to this league struggle with the officiating as it is.

Panthers have signed an additional import goalie to help Garnett with the congested domestic and CHL schedule. Patrick Galbraith has a wealth of experience - recently assigned to Krefeld in DEL.

Steelers have 7 under 30s and the 3 teenage Bits, Panthers 17 + 2, Devils 11 + 1

Interesting?

Very good signing by the Giants, good player, what happened at Manchester

 

[James]

I think it was he signed before Finnery came onboard and wasn’t happy with the changes.

Big loss for Storm, unless they sign a upgrade, which in their position, they just may do,

Reading the blurb about this, it suggests that after Finnerty signed another of tbe Clan Old Boy's Club, Scott Pitt (who was unhappy in Europe), then another player had to be released.

What a great addition for the Giants. A player who always impressed when Storm played here last season.

They had 16 Imports so they had to let someone go now Auger is almost back to fitness!

Giants sign young British defenceman Adam Jones from Guildford Flames.

How does this work with the U23 rule as it appears the Flames do not have any British players on their roster who are 23 or under?

I think it means they are restricted to a 19 man bench.

Odrobny leaves MKL

Difficult call for the Lightning as Odrobny is a popular player, but Wiikman is a class above when healthy.

Can't blame the guy at all- he was virtually sidelined once Wiikman started playing well.

The Polish international team goalie does not deserve a backup goalie position when he can be a genuine starter elsewhere.

Caps sign: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=34660

Had a decent stint with them last time around.

At first i thought it strange signing a D man with the team scoring 2 goals all weekend, but then again they also conceded 14 so the rebuild needs to start somewhere!
