A player that we actively tried to sign in the summer ends up at our rivals mid season.
Great job Nottingham Panthers for letting another one slip away.

I for one am glad that we don't poach players from other EIHL teams mid-season, it's detrimental to the league especially when one of the arena clubs take from one of the lower teams. |

Surely it depends doesn't it? Sometimes in the past a transfer fee has been involved. If that's the case then the Caps may be grateful for the money? |

Surely it depends doesn't it? Sometimes in the past a transfer fee has been involved. If that's the case then the Caps may be grateful for the money? I was looking at it from the viewpoint of the Caps finally have a team that is somewhat competitive (yes they've been on a bad run) and exciting to watch for the home fans, then one of the big boys just jumps in and takes away their best player? What message does that send to their fans and the fans of all the other non-arena clubs? The cash (if that is how it went down via a 'transfer fee') maybe good for Scott Neil and continuous funding of the rest of the squad, I just don't like the message it sends across the league. |

People saying on Twitter they have signed him whilst Fretter is injured but they said the same for Stromberg, maybe Stromberg is no good? If that's the case then that's some serious ambition from the Steelers, but I wouldn't expect any less tbh

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We didnt sign him in the summer, but we signed other players that other clubs were probably interested in.
Hayes is not what we need at the moment.
We do need a defenceman though.

Apparently he has gone off the boil of late, scoring just once in his last 10 games. Will probably light the flame again now he has joined the Steelers  |

Obviously a very good player... But, apart from the signing from a team in the same league that doesn't sit quite right with me (for the same reasons as pointed out above), I'm not over bothered by this. Yes he's good and yes we tried to sign him in the summer, but we need a Dman, not another point scoring import forward. We should (and do IMO) have enough of them already with Ling, Lawrence, Kolnik, Moran, Schultz & Bohmbach.

Yeah right Mozzy.

Sounds like Caps had released him, and Steelers first to jump to get his signature.
Agree with Shorty and Slade, it's the the D that needs shoring up more than anything.

We have plenty of point scorers Slade.
The problem is though,they can't find the net,where as Hayes can.

If you look, he's also the 3rd highest PIM taker with 140 mins. Most of those are 10 min misconducts with quite a number for abuse.

Apparently Cardiff were also talking to him but went with someone else, which leads me to think he was leaving Edinburgh regardless.

He became available, we moved quick and picked him up. You guys make me laugh. Whichever way you spin it it just looks like a big team taking advantage of a smaller outfit. I no longer give a crap. I've long known this league is becoming a joke. |

It's not necessarily the fact that another team signed Hayes and we didn't that annoys me, it's that other teams identified a need to strengthen from a strong starting point.
We need to strengthen from a weak starting point, and take nearly two months to bring in cover for an injured goalie.

Players move between clubs all the time in other sports, taking advantage of smaller clubs. Why is hockey so different?? The league is far from a joke. |

Steelers have done absolutely nothing wrong in this as far as I can see. However, the league certainly is a total joke. |
