Oh dear, beginning to look pretty ominous for Edinburgh, shame after a really good start this year.
Good signing for Belfast though.

Wonder if he's got the same agent as Ryan Hayes........Paul Zanette next to jump ship anybody ?
Hey,perhaps we might actually get a Dman if we offered them some money ?
Oh wait,that would be too much to ask !

I'd rather we didn't tbf. I can't see how caps are going to be competitive anymore just releasing their best players.
Shame really. :/

Are the Caps in trouble as rumoured a while back? One of the co-owners has came out on twitter to say they are in no danger at all. Then again, he's hardly going to say anything else I suppose. An unfortunate coincidence that it is almost this point 5 years ago they had to release virtually every import due to finances, and that was caused due to so little fans turning up because of snow affecting travel. Today we also have the worst snowfall in the Central Belt of Scotland since that time, the omens don't look good for them. I hope it's not a repeat as that is just looks bad for everyone else and the league to the outside hockey world. |

Trevor Gerling (F) or Jacob Johnston (D) would be the only two I would even think about taking,we don't need a forward though.
But I don't agree with tapping players mid season,so no !

I think the entire team were tapped at the January meeting when all the other team owners turned up with London baseball hats on |

On both the Hayes and Rutherford moves Scott Neil was quoted as saying that had they gone to a team in NA then they would have got nothing; almost identical quotes! So they let them go to rival teams because they would get some recompense, does this indicate that the Caps are struggling financially despite what kelman said in askTK?
Will we see them release more players before the end of the month?

Well on crowds of about 700 or put another way,only £9k ticket income per week,either the Caps are running at a thumping loss,or they are paying their players peanuts.
How on earth can you pay,house and run a squad on that,there is just no way it's possible.
And this is the team that supposedly outbid Panthers for Ryan Hayes back in the summer !

Some players could have personal sponsors who help but I don't think the shirt sponsorship would go far compared to the bigger clubs. I think that the wage bill there will be a bit skewed as some are/were part time with other jobs too. |

The Scottish lads will have jobs yes,that's why when you play the Caps midweek they turn up with about 15 players.
But that still leaves 13 imports to pay and house etc and the Caps won't have anywhere near the sponsorsips we have.
Compare that £9k per week ticket income against Panthers £70k per week and you have to wonder how on earth they could ever beat us !
