I am totally with you on this one, how can anyone compare at the moment when theres isnt anything to compare, we have all been told that the Steelers and the Devils will have exactly the same budget as each other, and it wont need rocket science to tell if thats the truth when signings begin. Cant see the business sense in bringing one team on and knocking another one back myself, yes we all know Sheffield can attract more fans with there building, but its also a costly exercise, how many past Steelers owners have walked away with a fortune, anyway as far as i am concerned until we see the other lot signing top dogs, and see us signing minnows theres not a lot to worry about. I have the greatest confidence in G and Franny to supply us with another worthwhile team, its far from doom and gloom at the moment.
2011/12 Rumours Thread - Absolute nonsense spotted!
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
Nothing is beyond the realms of possibility at the Panthers - they have already attracted a decent new signing on an MBA package to add to a strong roster. They have 4 import slots to confirm and according to their website, Neilson is very close with another signing. This player is someone they have been after for a couple of years. :?
All of these players have been rumoured to be going there.....Brandon Benedict, Jeff Legue, Bobby Robbins.

Were we not talking about the same things this time last year. How the club was quiet re:signings etc and look what happened. Isn't it no news is good news? If we also don't sign a particular player or lose someone, there is a very large pool to choose from. How many of us had heard of Tylor (year before), Stu, Pelle etc before last season. I know I had not. So lets have some faith in G and Franny and pass judgement at the end of the season and not before.
They have what they have to work with and I for one was very proud of what the guys achieved last year but if the players move on well so be it and they have my thanks.
Lets get behind the team instead of judging when we do not have all the facts.

Wonder if Martin Cingel will go to another Elite team after leaving Capitals - not bad stats considering he's been playing for team normally just happy to get the last playoff place...

Probably best to use Elite Prospects. hockeydb tends to have seasons missing.

The name rings a bell. Im sure he's a player I signed on eastside hockey manager before.

He has great stats right up to and including his ECHL year.
Since then, he been playing in Norway, the Italian 2nd division and the German 3rd tier. That doesn't fill me with great confidence as each of these leagues are below the Elite (Norway not far off).
However, over a point-a-game at ECHL level, a few AHL call-ups, decent size and very low PIM. Would probably be a decent signing, although I don't see him as a top line player.
