Why? As an import quality british netminder he's a vauable commodity and must be on a pretty sizeable wage. Out in Europe hes on a level playing field with everyone else.

The Elite league is near the bottom of Euro leagues, its called ambition, to play in the better leagues of Europe, don't think he as anything to prove in the Elite league.
That's why a lot give it a go, even K-wall

He's not that old at 25, still time to chance his arm elsewhere. Besides which, would a team in a better league be looking for a British starting netminder? Would he want to go somewhere to backup for a better team?
I think you could also argue that he, and the Devils, do have something to prove in the Elite League.

Count down to steelers going bust. In 3 2 1 Care to share your thoughts on why??? We are a long way from going bust, not sure the club has ever been stronger off the ice as it is now. 2 highest earning coaches, 2 highest earning Brits, 2 highest earning apprentices. Thommo is on some crazy pipe dream to bring the Swedish model to the uk. It's going to cost a bomb, is pointless and is doomed to fail. I am jealous of the spending in a way, I wish panthers would try it for a few seasons.

Sheffield must be spending a fortune on coaches alone,Thommo won't be cheap and neither will the Swedish guy,then there is the player roster. One day,just one day,Panthers might wake up and realise they are merely playing at being a big team. I have said before,Panthers are clones of Arsenal......always the bridesmaids !

There's bucket loads of money coming in, sadly most of it isn't reinvested into the panthers. It wouldn't be so bad if we had a full squad and competed in the league.

For me a strong League campaign and aim for the Playoff trophy to go with it. Meet those targets and I'll be happy, the CC is a mess and needs sorting out drastically and i really don't care if se win it or lose it anymore.

Very good addition to the stars roster, I'd expect him to have another high point scoring season

it's an awful way to go about your business. Welcome to Sheffield. Would any of you accept him at Nottingham if Strachan doesn't continue? If he was genuinely Neilson's pick, then yes. If he's a sign him up because Shuff have done him over and it'd be one in the eye for Simms & co, then no.

Yeah lol, did mean as a genuine addition with a view of improving coaching, rather than petty mudslinging. I've not got the hockey acumen yet to be able to tell what makes a good assistant coach and with the future of Strachans job seemingly unclear, would Hay be a good pick up?

The whole Strachan family is pretty well tied the the Panthers org so I don't see him going anywhere soon I prefer Rick with Cory rather than Cory with someone new I think.

That poor form from Steelers there. They went out of their way at the start of last season to say they wanted to be a really professional outfit. But things like this completely undermine that image.

It wouldn't matter who you brought in as Corey's assistant,because they won't be listened to and any fresh ideas will be ignored as usual by our coach. And that,is exactly why we have heard nothing on Strachs !

Strachan to Edinburgh Cap as head-coach, that was the rumor in the pub last night.

Strachan to Caps & Moran to assist Corey, maybe.

At least their press write articles like this. GM had such a tight grip on everything we never see any of this kinda thing in the post. I really like Matt Davies, he is doing a great job but he should be allowed to be critical. The press play a huge role in sports holding teams accountable but we don't get that and that is what we most need. Don't delude yourselves that our laundry isn't as dirty as Sheffield's. It is, we just hide it better.
