2016/2017 Rumours & Offseason Random Shenanigans

[fridaysfingers]

Owen Nolan to Belfast

Chris Bruton back to Braehead

Finnerty to Telford as player coach

Wayne Gretzky to take over the Edinburgh Capitals in partnership with his old camp mate, Tony Hand

Jeff Ulmer to Nottingham.

Clangus to Fife in the blockbuster deal of the summer.

Tony didn't come across as camp to me, maybe you're thinking of Paul?

 

[phil PLT]

Joey Martin to retire

Thats not funny

It wasn't meant to be!! This is a rumour thread and guess what that is a rumour I heard :roll: But like yourself I certainly hope it's not true.

 

[Ocko]

Haddad, Martin and Salters are on uni deals, they normally run over past September don't they?

Did make me laugh out loud!

I've heard Kurka to Sheffield a few times this weekend.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Sounds like a goodbye statement from Kurka. He tweeted this :-

Big Thanks to @KateKurka for supporting me all season . Also thank you @cardiffdevils to give me opportunity to be part of great Team

 

[DevilDom]

Love it :lol:

5 year deal apparently! Happy days.

Well if it's true and Kurkka leaves I would like to know his replacement because this guy is by far our best and skill full forward.

If we want to improve next season we keep these kind of players not lose them

If you're correct and that's how he says goodbye, it's not looking great for his Mrs either!

Kurka to Sheffield was one of the rumours doing the rounds this weekend, as was Salters to retire because of his knees and Hotham to go to a higher standard league.

This is what I heard off a bloke in a pub/woman in Costas.

 

[pjj365]

It is time for the Devils to step up to the plate

Phoenix fans on loan to Storm are excited because they will have a new arena in 3 years time

It is being built by Greenbank - we need to let them down gently but disabuse them

 

[ASHIPP]

Rumours on the Cage:

Batchy to Panthers

Batchy and Carl Hudson to Giants

Davey Philips to Giants

Lloyd/Peacock to Devils

I just hope scouts from a higher league weren't watching Hotham the last 2 months of season, as he was pish in defence, same as last season at the end!!

Hotham to a higher standard league? He'll be lucky based on his form since Christmas. How he won best D man in the EIHL, I'll never know. They must have just looked at his points production. He's not even the best D man at the Devils. I'm not suggesting we get rid of them all but at the end of the day, all the imports are replaceable, end of - and we need new blood to add a much needed physical element to our game. We have to keep the key Brits though (Bowns, Richardson & Batch) - that's imperative, and hopefully add one or two more Brit forwards.

Agreed, for me Richie, Batchy & Hendo have been better defensively for us!

Davies to devils seems to be done deal

 

[Doc97]
