Braehead Signing

[Hynod]

Braehead are announcing a signing at 11am today.

"Braehead Clan ‏@Braehead_Clan
Our latest signing will wear #20....#lockout"


Looks like another NHL'er.

 

[ASHIPP]

Rumoured to be Drew Miller from Detroit Red Wings.

Rumours that NHLer could be joining Steelers.

 

[DevilDom]

Deeds tweeted that 2 NHLer's joining the Steelers and Limpright is getting cut.

 

[Hynod]

Confirmed as Drew Miller.

Massive signing.

Please can the NHL sort their stuff out asap.

 

[TheStub]

Miller is easily the best player seen in this league... he isn't just a bubble player, he is a serious offensive player.

Breahead suddenly got exciting... and a contender.

 

[jester]

and a contender.

No they didnt because their D is not great, IIRC they only have two import D men.

Great signing though

They have 3 import D, Birnstill, Hanson and Manau. But their defence is still pants.

 

[wildthing74]

For my money the biggest signing since Elite league started maybe Fleury aside. The first time I've ever been excited at a rival signing.
This guy is the real deal and let's see what the other big boys do now.

 

[Skippy]

Bit off of Braehead after cutting a guy after one practice session pleading poverty.

2 to Steelers is a risky move, where will they be if the NHL lockout ends ?

 

[wildthing74]

Yeah 2 to Steelers was the word in Coventry last night. All this gambling with throwing money around been done too often.Will it end in tears again?

 

[DevilDom]

Well if Steelers are cutting another player to make way for 2 NHLer's I would imagine Panthers and possibly Giants will follow suit. Would be great if a few weeks after cutting the NHL sorts itself out and they all end up short benched! We can hope.

Why don't they make room for 4 NHL players and cut Dave Simms?

[Physically speaking]

Interesting read, but he doesn't completely shut the door on it. How is Mathieson?

 

[ASHIPP]

Wow this may be Clan's equivalent of Craig Weller....and it makes them stronger. I worry about the longterm with NHLers coming here. What happens if lockout resolved? Short term fixes for teams are a massive risk on many levels. And once one team acquires one others will feel pressurised to do the same to stay competitive.

No-one knows TBH head injuries are hard to give a definate time on recovery. Current estimate was 5 weeks from time of injury

This guy is a step above Weller.I hope I get to see him play before he goes home.

That won't be for a while. Can't see the lockout being sorted anytime soon.

Great signing but will he like going to the likes of Fife,Edinburgh,Hull rinks on a regular basis..
Clan now have enough forwards to put out 4 decent lines

Drew Millar / Jade Galbraith / Ash Goldie
Brock McPherson / Ryan Campbell / Jordan Krestanovich
Robert Farmer / Matthew Haywood / Bobby Chaumont
Ryan Watt / Aidan Fulton / Adam Walker

Their D looks lightweight but i've a feeling they will bring in another Import to tighten that up before next weekend. There twitter site has been hinting that they will.
