could u realistically see Sean signing for sheffield? after all their problems this year ?
I agree, I think he will stay put. But I could see him signing in the EIHL. Sheffield would probably be near the bottom of the list but not because 'it's Sheffield and he's a Panther' but because the question marks over their stability are well known and will no doubt concern any player linked with them. Your comment was that you couldn't see him wanting to sign for any[/b] other EIHL team. Giants still have a few spare slots dont they?
Regarding the comments above, around retaining an IR player like Toneys was, I really do believe we ought to be doing that. It gives us more flexibility for games where we want to take a different approach or where a guy has a knock that could do with being rested. I don't see why we should wait for an import not to work out or get injured before doing it. If we have the cash to run at more than the max allowed import limit for any one game then why not do it from the off. The retaining of Toneys and Ndur and the inclusion of Molin to name but 3 clearly show we have got the financial ability to do this.
Conclusion: Macca should be on the roster if we could tempt him back - he was superb last term. Players will miss out from time to time through injury or non-selection and that's part of the game, if they were playing in Scandinavia or Germany that would be part of the job so I don't really see the issue.
