Pound looking weak against the Dollar which will mean the EIHL budgets won't go as far in North America.
Expect a lot more younger USports/NCAA/Major Junior players who are cheaper and offer decent value. Also expect more European guys, particularly Czech, Slovak etc.

Mikko Kuukka & his Liiga club Jukurit have mutually agreed to waive his +1 year option.
He's now a free agent.

I've seen the rumours and the article too, and I will be honest, I cant imagine why the Clan would even consider Paul Thompson.
You’re always flattered to be linked with clubs and for me, the Glasgow job is a great job so I would definitely be interested,” Thompson said.
You feel the passion every time you got there as an opposing coach, but as we stand, my representative is talking to teams in Europe, but you never say never.
If things move forward either way and if it’s an opportunity that’s right for me as well as my family, then you never know.
I won’t deny that I’d like to get back to Europe, but it’s flattering to be linked with Glasgow for sure.

I wonder what kind of reception he would receive back at the arena.. I can just hear Simms now, rolling out the fanfare for our best ever coach...

Looks like from the article he's aiming higher than the EIHL.
