2016/2017 Rumours & Offseason Random Shenanigans

[august04]

Devils will sign an enforcer

Didn't catch a Weller quote?

Biznasty anyone?

I think the Weller comment was tongue in cheek - he has been retired for 2 years!

I suppose it all depends on whether Biz gets offered another AHL contract next season. He's back in the Reign's line up for the playoffs after missing a lot of games through injury.

Weller coming back would be pretty damn incredible after all this time. Corey will be glad he's no longer playing haha.

Just going to throw these rumours out there that I have heard over the last couple of days............
1. Hudson to Norway
2. Scott Hotham to Devils to team up with Andrew
3. Matt Myers to return to devils
4. Hendo to stay at Devils
and lastly
5. Stu Macrae to return
whats peoples thoughts on these??
Personally id be happy with all 5 of these if any truth in them.

Thought Stuuu had retired - he announced this after his last season at the Devils. Although as a former popular Captain it would be great for him to see/play at the IAW!

Any combination or all would be fine by me......but some rumours are just not going to happen.

Stu went to Denmark after us last 2 season he has played 27 games in total according to Elite prospects ...... I suspect his playing days are behind him as good as he was 27 games in 2 seasons would worry me if he came

This. There's no denying that MacRae was a great player when he was with us, but i'd like to think after the signings we've had the last couple of seasons that we're looking at new players rather than previous players coming out of professional retirement to sign for us!

Bissonnette wouldn't be a bad signing though

Got to be Batch tomorrow, surely?

I've heard Hotham to Norway/Sweden.
Kinda of hoping for a new face. I'd imagine we will see 4-5 new faces [emoji1303]

If the club do lose players that have been key, as sad as it is, I'm not worried. Throughout the years, this club has proven to have good contacts and capable of getting what they need to build a competitive team.

The latest club tweet about a sponsor returning is an interesting one. Does it suggest the player (Kurka) is returning too, or am I reading too much into it.

Interesting that they've posted a photo with Kurka's jersey rather than a logo or photo of Manic Mechanics.

 

[James]

They would have that shirt as his sponsor. I doubt its more than that.

I think too much is being read into that... It's likely just last years press photo!

 

[bdevil]

Yeah, but if Kurka wasn't returning surely they'd take a new picture and announce the news without Kurka's name?

 

[buzzwagon]

It's just the players jersey that was sponsored last season ( player sponsor) being presented no significance to the up coming season

Posts regarding Myers (& Mosey) moved to the confirmed signings thread:

[Jonesy83]

David Simms has hinted that Ben Davies cannot come to a an agreement with Clan and is hinting to a possible move to Cardiff/Belfast.

Annoyingly he's usually right about these things but seriously hoping this is one time there no truth in it.

Copied and pasted the above off clan chat.

Could we see Myers & Davies back with Cardiff?

 

[Rabbitohs4]

Davies and Myers to return. Piggsy and Jones to sign 2 way deals maybe with a epl team?

 

[ASHIPP]

Would imagine Belfast and Nottingham are now in a race for British players with some of theirs departing. Interesting to see what happens.

With the arrival of Peacock at Clan, it does raise the question of Ben's position. Peacock would be their no1 British player.

For Matthew and Ben to return to the Devils would be wishful thinking.
Nice to dream though.

Rumours from other forums:

Cale Tanaka to Dundee

Derek Mathers to the EIHL - a huge, tough Canadian with extensive AHL, ECHL experience. Can also play in defence.

 

[Devil94]

Some suggestion tonight that we're looking for an import goalie to rotate with Bowns. Personally I wouldn't like to see us go down that route. If it does happen I presume it's more to do with fatigue, but I thought Ben was one of the very players that didn't drop off towards the end of the year. (Semi final aside, where everyone was bad). And we all know he's more than good enough to play out the season on his own.

Surely this can only happen if we get Myers and Davies back, which is possible but I think unlikely.
