Bit of a difference

Sheffield, if they had a decent netminding tandem, would have been difficult to stop. Brust is the most over rated goalie I have seen in a long time.

Not sure if he is overrated? Even Sheffield fans appear lukewarm about him. Rok is solid but not in Carruth's league. I would agree that this has been the weakest area by far

They'll sort that when carruth goes to Sheffield next season, been hearing it a lot that he's Sheffield bound next season as he doesn't get on with skalde apparently

If that’s the case we won’t be seeing silverware in Cardiff for a while, not without seriously spending on quality goal scorers and defending.

That's a fair point. I meant over rated in terms of the way they talked about him preseason. I'm sure I remember comments about him going to be the best goalie in the league. In reality he's not even been in the top 10 goalies in terms off save percentage. I suspect the only place he's led the league is in terms of number one in the queue for the hot dog stand.

If Mac does head to Sheffield I could see skalde recruiting another quality goalie as he is the one who brought Mac in I believe, if he stays good if he goes fair enough but he won't see a single twix from Sheffield fans lol

Yeah I tend to agree with you. It would be disappointing to lose Carruth but I’d trust us to bring in another good goalie.

Is Skalde contracted to next season?

2 year deal I think, pretty sure most of ours got a 2 year deal with the exception of Coughler, Brandt, McNulty.

That's me guessing btw, I reckon by June we'll start finding out more

Where have you been hearing this from and by who ?

I wouldn't have thought so. With the exception of the Brits that are on multi year deals, and perhaps one or two imports, but I don't think we would have offered a brand new team all 2 year deals.

I thought it was standard 2 year deals for imports with a get out clause if they don't work out or get an offer from another club, I'm probably wrong lol as I said before though I think come June we will know who is staying and who isn't.

 

[moggy#9]

I'm hoping that it won't be too long before we get some clarity on next season's roster rules. Hopefully we'll see the back off the hated 19 player rule and some changes to the two way player rules.

Very few imports get a 2 year deal. The ones that do is normally based on the completion of a very good prior EIHL season. I can’t think of a brand new import who was signed on a 2 year deal.

99% of the time it’s a 1 year (season) deal with a 2 week notice period (either way).

Usually 2 year deals have been the university places.

I can't remember seeing anywhere whether the coach was on a multi-year deal though.

I remember when he was recruited one of the things Todd mentioned is that they were looking for someone who would commit long term. I don't think they'd want to go through that recruitment process again any time soon.

Mac Carruth is on a 2 yr deal.

Mac Carruth is on a 2 yr deal.

But will he see it out ???????

 

[Wannabe2]

Why wouldn’t he, Sheffield is a dump, they won’t win anything this year, fox is a dick, and we have the best organisation in the league, in the best city, with the best fans. Think he will be here for more than 1 more season.

I know it was a while ago but on the 2 ales podcast he said he wanted to stay in Cardiff for a while.

I hadn't heard the rumour about him and Skalde.

But IF it is true, then that's a big reason for him not to stay, regardless of whether we believe Cardiff to be the best city etc.
