Ok, It's not whether you want them back or not but who do you think will be back next season.

I reckon these 10 Imports will be back

10 Tanner Eberle
15 Anthony DeLuca
19 Michael Davies
28 Lucas Sandström
63 Brendan Connolly
90 John Armstrong
8 Marek Troncinsky
42 James Bettauer
97 Josef Hrabal
70 Tomas Duba (only as backup/1b netminder)

the rest will either be cut, retire or get much better offers elsewhere.

The only one on that list guaranteed is the one I wouldn't want back given a choice, I just believe we can replace him with much bigger and better player @paul johnston

I wonder if Vally will be back as the club are using his name to sell products.

I was wondering that, with the new t-shirts they've put in the store with his face/name all over them. Seems a bit late in the season to start a new line of those.... but I guess they will probably sell well, so anytime is good to make money!

Vallerand & DeLuca are certs of they want a deal.

Trončinský is must keep for me. Nearly a point a game and strong defensivley.

the rules may change post Brexit. The absolute only reason we have the played junior rule rather than they have a British passport is to get around the EU freedom of movement rules. While still under EU rules we wouldn't be able to have different rules for EU and British citizens.

Not sure what the minimum 25k a year ish wages to qualify for a visa will do to recruitment. not sure how much imports are paid

Who I think will be back and who I’d have back are two different questions I suppose as it’ll be down to personal circumstance etc

Eberle,
Troncinsky,
Hrabel would be definite.

Duba? Maybe but I’d like to think a younger import goal tender would be the way to go.

Vallerand and Connolly (if he does indeed class as an import) absolutely.

The rest I’d like to think we can upgrade upon.

*Edit*
Forgot about Sandstorm, he’s really impressed in recent weeks. I’d keep him on also.
