I can't see us going for Linglet either to be honest. Maybe a few years ago but not now.

And I'm sure AF is thinking the same way.

I'm sure this is the first year ever that we have not heard many rumours. It would be lovely to hear a few potential or actual signings to give us something to look forward to. I understand that its quite difficult as no one really knows what is going to happen regarding Covid and travel.

I really wish that all the restrictions had finished, and we had a vaccine so we could get back to perhaps a new normal, but start the hockey season in September, or October at the latest.

Fox says potentially early next week for some news.

He's got some returnees and new guys agreed.

Devils assistant Luke Piggott to leave due to off ice commitments.

It's rumoured he's taken a scientific research position in Switzerland.

Ben O'Connor to Guildford picking up speed.

Sam Jones likely to be his replacement if true.

Steelers have just announced on Twitter that starting this Thursday morning we will be announcing 7 signings over the following 7 days! Should be an interesting week!

How many of the 7 will be returnees and how many will be new signings do we think? Steelers just hyped up Thursdays announcement as a big one.....

That would be an interesting day and certainly fits more with the “Take the day off” hype......hope it’s a mix of returnees and new players
