Curious.

You made a big fuss of accusing Chris of bringing it all back up again. Then when it was shown that it wasn't him - you posted "Right...".

Interested in what your posting was supposed to mean. Would you be good enough to clear up my confusion?

As a moderator - if I feel somebody has been unfairly accused of something it is my responsibility to defuse the situation.

I was hoping it was an apology for what could have been an innocent mistake. It seems I was wrong.

If Ling is our final signing up front, then Doug Sheppard would be our 'worst' forward! That is crazy. I think either Chad Hinz or an unknown will be more likely than Ling. Hope not though as he looks blummin' awesome!
Chad Hinz has now turned the Steelers down. Confirmation on the official Sheffield site from Mike O'Connor.
 
The conversation was over finny. You have kept it going.

Surely Chris being a moderator himself would have pulled me up on it if he was spoken to unfairly.??? Let it go finny...........

I know O'Connor has stated that Hinz is staying in the U.S but how great would it be if it turns out he's the Panthers signing?

Stick one to them after the Sarich debacle!

Coventry, Newcastle and Cardiff rosters completed; Hull, Nottingham and Belfast with one more import vacancy each to complete; Edinburgh and Sheffield a few slots left to fill - now getting very exciting to weigh up the teams!

Jade Galbraith currently rumoured to be the mystery player not returning to Nottingham after signing for next season.
Some speculation over whether Bolibruck will really sign for Steelers - wonder also who they are targeting after Chad Hinz? :? I wouldn't relish the thought of Matt Elich going to the Steelers let alone the Panthers!

Steelers need a super sniper to replace Tait's goals. As good a player as Elich is - I don't think he would be the right fit.
Awada is expected to be the final import signing for Belfast now that Kevin Phillips is going there on D. Matt Reynolds is still expected to be Hull's final signing.

We're starting to get a good idea of how competitive teams are going to be. Apart from Edinburgh though who seem to be leaving their announcements as late as possible.

Finny, you're right Elich probably wouldn't really fit at the Steelers.
In saying that, he is a playmaker, he creates opportunities. It's not known who has signed at the Steelers and it's late in the off-season for targeting players now. Elich is certainly the calibre of player Matsos would want (he hasn't signed anywhere yet?) and if he came at the right price, Matsos might be prepared to re-organise his forward lines a bit?
Elich certainly seems to have the exact same qualities/experience described in the Panthers' press release about their final signing!

It could be anyone who's played in any number of NHL games though.

Saying that, haven't heard anything about Elich mentioned this silly season really, couple of posts on this rumour thread some weeks back about him coming to us but nothing more...

One of the names being suggested as Panthers 'superstar' signing is Travis Brigley! :cool: Anyone remember him? Only played a handful of games for the Devils as a young player but he was exciting. What a c.v. that guy has got and still point scoring at top level in Germany.
 
Travis Brigley would a great signing for them ! Saw him a couple of times on German TV over the last few seasons, a class player thats for sure, but wouldn't come cheap !!

Yep...I remember him. Very impressive back then...great signing for them if this is true.
