Signings/Departures Thread - All Teams 2023/24

Just a throught someone had on Twitter if he is playing more will he be in a better position then Whistle for GB next season.

According to Elite Preece has gone to the Bees.I wondered if we might have picked him up as a backup.

Do you want us to compete next season ? Got to be looking at a new number 1 and bownsy number 2

 

[moggy#9]

The new netminder will be arguably the most consequential signing of the summer. Get it right and we're potentially contenders, get it wrong and we're in the chasing pack.

Exactly, A championship winning team is based on a solid consistent NM . Build from the back, no room for sentiment

Bit off topic but worth mentioning that Colin Shields was awarded an MBE.
Good for him.

Jono Philips next then...

 

[Earnie]

You would think so.
However you need someone to turn the wheels to make it happen.
I don’t see that organisation in Sheffield.

STEELERS | Marco Vallerand will start next season in orange, no not a jumpsuit although being sentenced to another year in HMP House of Rust is a tough punishment.

(Can't bring myself to paste the link for fear of nearly watching what has been reported as a terrible announcement video, and I don't have any bleach to hand for my eyes)

I've seen the video, it's what I imagine a creepy guy sounds like when he's luring young kids into his van.. Its disturbing.. Very very disturbing...

 

[Gavevs88]

Yeah don't watch the video, I can't find bleach strong enough to wash my eyes.

Goodwin departs Giants (surprised by that) and this guy comes in https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/132016/ara-nazarian

How do they find these players? Translate his scoring in the ECHL, he's going to do pretty well over here.

The last two signings really sum up the differences between the two organisations concerned. Re-signing Vallerand smacks of laziness. In my eyes it was quite clear that he wasn't the player he was in his previous spells here yet they still turn to him.

Contrast that with Belfast who have gone with a younger player who appears to be on the up and who has very decent numbers in the ECHL.

It might turn out that Vallerand re-finds his mojo and Nazarian is a busted flush but..... to me this is the difference between a Championship team and one that has lost its way.

Oh and the Vallerand video is the creepiest thing I have seen this year.

CLAN & VIAPLAY | In one of the WTAF moments of the off-season Clan announce the signing of Aaron Murphy as 'Senior Advisor of Hockey & Broadcast Operations'

I'm surprised Murphy didn't end up working for the giants.

Would take Goodwin in a heartbeat, maybe retiring or moving to higher things, as for finding players, having a brother that’s the coach of a NHL team, must be a huge help.

 

[Diafol]

I'm surprised Murphy didn't end up working for the giants.

Glasgow must be where they keep the good whisky.

 

[Wannabe2]

Thankfully it ain’t Cardiff.

Honestly quite surprised Sheffield are running it back this year with Fox and same core players. Not entirely sure what their management are seeing in their roster! Kevin Tansey looks a handy signing though by all accounts!

 

[Wannabe2]

Tansey looks class, Vallerand still looks dangerous, Steelers will be up there of that I have no doubt, Dowd is the best British player. They will still be one of the teams to beat.
