Player signings thread - Other teams...

[DiscoRay]

I've never quite understood why such a good keeper like Owen as not moved up to another team, such as Coventry... he is a decent Netminder IMO

He did play a season with Belfast in 19/20 (including playing all 6 of their CHL games), and as it happens Coventry as well in the EIHL series. As said though, met his now wife in the area and that'll be a big draw to stay. Even that aside some guys just find a place they like and stick with it, nice contrast to guys who hop around clubs in the league every season.

Fife sign 6' 3", 23 year old Brit Mason Alderson who has stints at Solway and Belfast

Is Fife signing a Brit one of the signs of the apocalypse?

Conway and Goodwin confirmed returnees at Belfast

[Nathan]

Finlay Ulrick Nottingham bound.

Piccinich re-signs in Belfast, so their top line remains as per last season.

I suspect they'll have a number of others returning, rumours have Kawaguchi, Carpenter, Hanson and Cooper returning. I expect they'll look very similar to last year albeit with better Brits assuming Sam Jones rumour is correct and B Whistle does go there.

Lake re-signs in Belfast

Grant Mishmash leaves Belfast for Coventry

[Doom]

I think Mishmash will do well with Coventry.

His numbers in Norway were comparable with Piccinich.

The problem for him in Belfast is that they have a lot of good forwards and Keefe has his favourites. I guess his ice time and opportunities were fairly limited.

In Coventry he'll probably be top line and get opportunities on the powerplay. It looks a good move for all parties.

A lot of Giants fans suggesting he seems a bit of a lazy player. Probably a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

Be interesting to see how he goes with definite top 6 minutes, PP time

Didn’t work out too well for us for keeping many of the grand slam team. Or in this/their case a championship winning team.

Good players? Yes, but as an opposing fan, I’m not particularly worried that they’ve got an awesome dominant team at this stage. I’m not sure we have either yet.
