Re: PELLE'S BACK.
To be honest, Voth had some great games, in bunches too, but a great season? I'm sorry but he's had better seasons for the Devils. I'd love to see him back but from what he was rumoured to be getting paid I don't think he justifies commanding such a wage when he doesn't perform as consistently as he should.
The high earners should be the guys that become gamebreakers on a nightly basis and for me Macrae should be finding himself as one of the top earners.

pelle gone to belfast
ive heard pelle has gone to belfast. thats another huge loss for us. seems at the moment either we cant sign players or just knowbody wants to join us. strange if you ask me how sheffield nottingham got all these big signings and so far we got diddly doo..something just dont seem right if you ask me. worried much would be an under statement. :?: :?: :?:

Re: pelle gone to belfast
Yep, it's definitely the 'Silly Season'. :shock:
If anyone reads the multi-speculation over the last few pages about various players, it's quite obvious that very few of us really know what is going on at all. We are all just grasping at straws and looking for any little hint that might confirm our hopes. I'm thinking that players like to play teasing games too - and are probably having a little giggle whilst watching everyone sweat over which club they are going to! :lol:
The only place that hasn't been mentioned is the International Space Station! :lol:

Anyone wonder how Steelers managed to keep Legue, Tait, Hewitt and Philips? They accept a cut in their salaries.....but INCREASE their housing allowance. :lol: So THAT'S how they do it (so it's rumoured today).....but the official line is that Devils and Steelers still have the same player budgets. :roll:
Ok point agreed - I may have gone over the top with great but he got some very important goals and seemed to have matured a discipline sense and let's be honest he is a unique asset, no-one has anything quite like him.He's the tough guy when needed but he can play some good hockey too.
However do you think his inconsistencies command a near 35% wage cut cause I don't !
It depends on what that money could buy us elsewhere.
This is business - and there should be little room for sentiment.
If we could get two (or even one) Tylors for what Voth wants, then kick Voth to the curb and sign them up. On last years performance, there is no way Voth should be on more money than Stu, Pelle, Tylor - in fact any of the import forwards.

Correct and I myself am not Voth's biggest fan however I actually find the offer actually disrespectful given the amount of money we have saved on Matzka, Finner and Weller leaves a large amount " in the pot " if you like. More than enough to pay Voth's wages for what he has said is his final year, I'm sure Brad himself would have taken a cut were it more reasonable.
I guess that the positive spin on this though is that with all of the money being saved, we have some serious money to spend on new signings as only a few players who have resigned have had major increases.
If this true it does seem disrespectful to any player but seeing as vother has been here 5/6yrs it does seem a tad strange way to treat a player who the devils have benefited from having him in their team ie franchise player etc these are certainly strange days at the devils thats for sure :roll: :roll:
Fact but its not always about how good a player is though is it, theres no arguing that he is a crowd puller bringing people through the door. At work the only player everbody talks about is Voth, even those that dont go to games, so its more about a revenue earner. I suspose similar in a weird way to Beckham going to Madrid, he was no way one of their best players but he was one of the highest paid due to his marketing power.
Well Belfast is a bit like France. :roll: :lol:
Gutted to read the news. :cry: Good luck him tho, he was a great Devil. Belfast have obviously got the cash to splash.
NOW I'm starting to side with the worriers on this forum more. Especially as this could point to no Stuuu next year as they seem pretty close. :?
