STORM | New NM in town for Storm. Not sure whether he has salt on his chips or just Weninger...

CLAN | Dyson Stevenson retained in Purple for 23/24 - I know @Wannabe2 would have wanted him in the other purple arena

Sure would take him in a heartbeat, love his passion he would have made a great Devil.

I believe Dave Simms is literally betting his bottom dollar if anyone wants to take his bet.....

Thats a huge loss for the Giants, 90 points from 51 games is huge, and 78 points from 53 games the season before, those are some figures.

Exactly and some fans on here wouldn't want him here, regardless what he said about officials in the EIHL and behind scenes problems with belfast, he would be on top of my list to get him at devils if I were coach , it's all about performance on ice that counts. When carruth and faryna had meltdowns there was no reaction from devils fans at the time..

As said before.

There budget is surely above the

Gentleman's agreement wage cap lol

There hasn't been a wage c

There hasn't been a wage cap for years....but just how does anyone know what any other team spends? It's just people's perception of the stamp of player signed without any real knowledge

 

[Kevlar68]

The thing is with wage caps teams in any sport can be within the wage cap and then add bonuses, extras etc that would then bump up the contract but the wage itself can still come under a wage cap, there are always loopholes that can be taken advantage of if you have the right lawyer. Non of us mere mortals know what is being spent or what players are looking for so we can't judge that people are breaking rules as non of us really know for certain, it's all just speculation.

It’s Todd and the owners reasoning for not spending.

 

[Hockeymad]

All you have to do is look at giants team compared to any other eihl team.

They are clearly spending way more than them.

If you can't see that then fool you

 

[Kevlar68]

As long as they are within the wage cap they're not breaking any rules, all the extras can add up to a substantial amount which doesn't come under the wage cap remit, it's called being clever. "Wage cap" is the main wording, not "Contract cap".
In everyday life you would be on a wage e.g. £16 PH that's the wage BUT your contract then may have bonuses of discounts, company car, accommodation, courses, clothing, food allowance etc, those do not come under your wage.

 

[Wannabe2]

Also University spots are worth a fortune to Imports.

 

[BostonBart22]

Agree there's lots of loopholes which could amount to double what players are earning, could be anything from car sponsorship and fuel paid for, acommodation paid for, Ben probably got his own house so he would get other perks no one knows about, could go on and on but good luck to the players, it's a short career.

 

[Wannabe2]

It’s Todd and the owners reasoning for not spending.

Give it a rest mate, we spend loads compared to other venues with 3,000 capacity venues, double that income with a 6,000 crowd and you can double your budget.

 

[voth26]

And you know this for definite do you, thought not

 

[kristian]

Don't bite folks

 

[Wannabe2]

Yes your spot on Kristian, it’s just so annoying it goes on, and on, and on.

There is a wagecap. The EIHL announced it at the start of the 21-22 season to help teams after Covid.
Kelman has confirmed it several times since. Are you calling him a liar?

I've not seen anyone from the Giants or any other club claim there is no wage cap?

So the question everyone wants an answer to, and not one poster has given a figure. What is it? It's as Wannabe said earlier. It goes on and on and on and on.
