Steelers signings and departures

[paul johnston]

2 forwards and 2 d, unless we sign up a spare early

[Jayboy]

My issue is that almost all of our signings are returnees, hardly any new blood to get excited about yet.

Yes, looking down the list I see what you mean. That had sort of crept up on me - 3F, 1D, 1G being new guys. I’m classing Whistle as a returnee (belated lol).

I would have thought the remaining spots would have to be new guys though, so that would be a further 5 or so new faces.

That being said - I still wonder re Heard…

I think we may have heard something by now....

I would suggest we're ahead of the curve in terms of signings, considering we're only just heading into July.

As I see it, all we still require is:

A British back-up netminder to play when Brine starts.

2 import defencemen (hopefully one big physical body).

2 import centres for the top two lines.

An import spare capable of playing F and D who would be allowed to ice when Brine is in goal.

Belfast are at a similar stage to us in their recruitment, but Notts and Cardiff are a little bit behind with more players to sign.

I thought Huttula was good in 24/25 and finished top of our +/- with +29.

Last season he struggled and finished near the bottom with +1. I don't think the defensive pairings helped him, but he wasn't on my retain list.

I would still have Dougherty back. He finished +24 and that was after a very slow start.

Well the Saturday afternoon news has gone quiet unless it was to say Tansey has signed for the Madawaska valley wolves

And now Warburton joins Deeside dragons

If those 2 items are the news we have been waiting for somebody in the office needs to give there head a wobble.
