Re: Rumours 2025/26 Season

Seems to be prevailing feeling on X that Diffley is also returning, so would give a spare import D.

Certainly would give options and maybe some insurance if Southorn has declined significantly as opposed to just a weird season in France.

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

Those top 8 forwards so far I think can easily move around lines. I agree that Balmas and Gentile will probably get a look together at some point, same with Juusola/Tait. I think depends on who the last signing is - if it's a centre then potentially could see Jasper take a spot on the wing, possibly...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

I'm currently engaged in a daft argument on X after a Cardiff fan described Pu as a 'meh' signing :D Fox definitely spreads scoring more, so I always tend to look at PPG - 6 players at a ppg suggests you will at least score 2 every game on average, probably more likely 2.5 goals. Add in a couple of ...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

To try and look at signings objectively, I always try and think how I'd feel if our rivals signed one of our players. If I'm honest, I wouldn't be concerned in the slightest if Belfast or Nottingham signed Jasper. I would be a little concerned with Pu, but less so if I knew he was 1st line, because...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

Listen to the interviews with Fox and Jasper - he acknowledges the +/- and the numbers - sounds more and more like victim of circumstance last year. The year prior I think is the key - 20 points in the Extraliga is no joke. Sounds like he could be a bit of a rat at times and not afraid to get net f...

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

Fox says top 6, so I'd say we now look something like
Juusola - Pu- Balmas
Seitz - Jasper - Tait
? - Dowd - Gentile
Shudra - Tremblay - Neilson

Thats a pretty deep forward group imo - 2 PPG potential players on 3rd line, with one more signing to come.

Re: Rumours 2025/26 Season

I've not seen the Macaulay rumour except for a slightly tongue in cheek post on X, and nothing through the usually reliable sources. Think it's probably not correct. I think the list above (McAdam, Dougherty, Seitz, Jasper) is correct, but I think last forward isn't done yet (likely waiting for some...

He, allegedly, was a bit too friendly with his teammates wives and girlfriends.

Re: Player signings thread - Sheffield...

Said it on the other thread, 0.4 ppg in the K and he's under 28 - utterly ridiculous stats for an EIHL signing. It's all on paper of course but so far this is the best signing that's new to the league by any team.

50% face off win rate in the K with over 1000 taken. Should be perfect top 6 centre
