Finances dictate the resources available to fulfill targets and ambitions. If the Devils aim to progress to the next round of the CHL (rather than crashing out in round 1), you would hope they will try to make sure they have as many fit and ready players as possible in the squad. This will also help enormously with the heavy domestic schedule they will hit fairly quickly after CHL starts.
Finances will influence this...... and the seriousness of injuries to Joey Martin and others carrying any niggles. Not much time left to take any necessary action.
Are Giants and Panthers carrying additional players for their European games?
