No doubt clan will be up there coz of the conference. Can't see blaze being up there just because they won the playoffs. Anyone can win the playoffs its only 4 games and imo needs changing. No doubt yourselfs giants and Steelerswill be there but I think devils have the edge when majority of the players return and a few great newbies. I admire your optimism , however take the challenge cup win away and what did you actually do I mean isn't the challenge cup similar to play offs , anyone can win it , after the group stages you only need to win 3 games. 3rd in conference 3rd in league didn't qualify for play offs That to me doesn't really put you as "THE TEAM TO BEAT" especially as you say if you keep most of your team . Im sorry there are teams ahead of you both financially and in the standings as proved above. But its good you think that way

The team to Beat?
Teams have signed less than half their rosters and the season is over 4 months away?

We built that team in 4 weeks, challenge cup is a lot harder u play 11 games to win it and we did it in Sheffield against the odds, we finished 3rd by 3 points roughly?? Next season will be the one imo, yes rosters are not done but Devils players will be back with one or two changes so we will be as strong aslant year if not stronger again, so we can only become better, no one wants to leave Cardiff it's the place to be now

Plus look how many players Belfast bought back after their title win the other year, keeping the same team doesnt always mean itll do as well as last time you know...

Dan Green back with Panthers for another year. linkNo complaints about this. Showed that he has improved immensely in his time with us with some solid displays when needed over the past couple of seasons. Plus he has a cool looking goalie helmet.

waste of a good up and coming hungry for improvement youngster as a back up though... no slur intended as this applies to all backups at Panthers but I hope they don't see a minutes ice time..

If we are up by 5 with 15 minutes left I would rather they kept the import in net and just hope they don't get injured all season.

Waste of a good up and coming hungry for improvement youngster, that you hope would never see any ice time.....Great way to kill off any ambition they may have.

Sorry maybe not worded the best.
We haven't told him we want him to sign and he's therefore gone elsewhere as he's been offered a contract.
Just a rumour.

Good signing for Stingrays ... was quality in World Champs. Surprised he's left Belfast but maybe they're looking for new blood.

Devils the team to beat next year apparently players are asking to join our team!! the top flight clubs have had players contacting them about positions for years now. Glad Devils have finally caught up.

Probably more to do with not liking the coach in this case I believe Shorty.

Out of contract so didn't have to ask to leave That said for whatever reason he's gone & time for Thornton to sink or swim. If he's been forced out then huge decision for Steve to make , if he's left because he doesn't like the coach then huge decision for Davy to make - we have 5 signed already who have no problems playing under Thornton. Either way I wish him well and glad it's not a conference team he's gone to

Fantastic pick-up by Cardiff. They already look to be assembling a strong team.
