With the season nearing an end and one day of play off weekend gone I thought it was time for this thread. Usually the rumours start at the POFW so thought this the perfect time.
So what have you heard so far?

Corey has a one year extension thanks to the challenge cup win and will be given another year on top of that if he wins the play offs.

Can't see anything other than Neilson, unless Brad is being put in as assistant coach. Or Neilson is being moved to the next job up and someone else is being put out to grass...

Brad Moran to be announced player coach Isn't he one of the Uni guys? If he's got that to deal with studying for an MBA, I wouldn't give him a player coach role on top of it.

Heard a few from the weekend Batch to panthers - Not likely. We have plenty of Brit D-men. David Phillips to panthers - Not likely. See above Peacock & Llyod to Devils - Devils fans talk about wanting toughness, could be useful, but he's a franchise player over there with Keefe so I think unlikely. Batch & Hudson to Giants - No Brit d-men is something I find strange in Belfast so I could see Batch making sense for them. Murphy to caps - Why would Caps sign a Brit goalie? They'll never have a full quota of imports for most of the year anyway!

They'll never have a full quota of imports for most of the year anyway! Not so sure about brit dmen. I dont think we'll see swindlehurst back next season. So another brit dman could be useful. Of the 2 id take batch but reckon philips would be more likely. Peacock would be a good pick up for any team. Lloyd, nah. Belfats had the best years out of him cant see him being an upgrade of anything devils have really. Devils have plenty of tounghness they just need to use it more. Giants could definatley go after a brit dman, espeacially if they drop murphy which i think is a strong possability. Could be some legs on those rumors.

Murphy's a Scot isn't he? Seems to be losing his touch as an Elite Goalie in the Elite League but has the quality to be a great player should he head to Caps.
Batch to Panthers.. I haven't heard that but personally I'd take him over Lee any day of the week and fill Swindlehurst's gap in with the additional Import.
Schultz to re-sign with Panthers is one I seem to feel may happen and if that happens I'd expect Bohmbach to follow behind.
Should Corey stay, I think the retaining of Wiikman and Lawrence is more than likely, he's a huge fan of them both.

He's gone home to his family where his wife has been ill for a while but he's told his sponsors and fans that he'd love to return and he gets on very well with everyone and Neilson.

If his wife is ill I would guess he would like to try and sign close to home. Do you mean short term illness?

He went home twice over the season so I'm guessing it's something serious but he never said exactly what as you'd expect. Hopefully it isn't anything serious and just a recurring issue which can be resolved over the summer but he's definitely said he'd love to come back!

At trophy presentation I got the impression that Schmidt was definitely retiring and Kolnik would not be returning...
