This has been rumoured for at least a couple of months now. Will be interesting to see if it actually happens. Think I posted it earlier in this thread somewhere. Would be a good signing for any team in the league.... If he can stay fit & That is a big if. And as such I can only see him effectively taking a pay cut to sign there unless he gets a uni deal.

Ashley Tait wants one more season. I can see him going back to Sheffield. Friendly with Thommo and played there before.

They've just got rid of Ferrara, albeit to give Shudra and Kirk a chance, but Sheffield would find room for him if they needed to.

Cause you can only have 5 brits over 23, they currently have O'Connor Dowd D.Phillips J.Phillips and they still need a back up goalie, so unless they have a U23 back up then Tait would have to be a spare

Just a rule on if teams want to play with the full 22 man roster, they must have 3 under 23's. Teams could play 19 over 23 Brits if they wanted. Tait could be a player/assistant with Steelers, stand on the bench until an import or Brit over 23 gets injured, and then play.

The u23 brits are optional, but if you want to increase your roster over 19 then they have to be u23 brits. It works as 19+3 so you could run 14 imports + 5 brits and no u23's

I think either Guildford or MK would be all over Tait if he wanted to stay in the league. They'd want EIHL experience, he can put up points, still fairly fit and won't cost a bomb.

You stated teams can only have 5 Brits over 23. They can have as many as they want.

perhaps the EIHL isn't viewed as 'professional' back home in Canada. Its not only the NHL is

Liam Stewart to Sheffield, they're looking for a 4th line centre, he fits the bill

However, I cannot see that happen as it would be backwards thinking and why release Ferrara to give the younger players more ice only to sign a 41 year old.

Because even at 41 Tait is still a better player than Ferrara. And Sheffield do what it takes to win !
