I would rather hope the Theissen rumour is true. This guy may have played Liiga but only 4 points in the last two seasons doesn’t fill me with confidence

Presumably spent large parts of the last 2 seasons injured, but a great season before that. Steelers have a habit of getting players with lowly looking stats in better leagues than the EIHL to perform well at this level.

The final players (no I don't know who they are) were signed some time ago. Chronologically speaking the last 2 imports signed were Bednard & Vorva.
The remaining players will be announced very soon I'm sure.
Personally for me they are dragging out the signing announcements a tad too long this time But if that's my only gripe there can't be a lot else wrong at present.

Didn’t they say at the Q&A it was a league decision to drip feed the signings? Although haven’t Cardiff announced all theirs.? We’ll get the last two this week. Still got a hunch a Blaze player will come.

Still got a hunch a Blaze player will come. The drip feeding from the Q&A was in relation to fixtures and I don’t think the league has the authority to decide when a team announces it’s signings, we just drip feed so there is news throughout the off season but I think its worse this year so they can maximise the money from the raffles

Those raffle shirts are awful aren’t they?
Suppose they can’t make them too nice to detract from the new season ones though.

I'm hoping they look significantly better in the flesh than on the image as I've won one.

I'd be quite surprised if the club was scrabbling around looking for players at his stage. Unless they've taken a decision to wait and see what shakes out from the NA minor league camps etc? The one thing we can be sure of, it probably won't get leaked if it is news.

Imo all sitting on the news does is build anticipation and expectancy from the fanbase. We’ve been absolutely water tight this season, so I suppose the club may be being tactical in not wanting teams to know who we’ve signed.
But, at least we’re not doing what Sheffield are doing and delaying the announcements, even though all their remaining signings have been leaked😂

Mike Blaisdall always picked good players doing that.

These last two signings can’t afford to be cheap options now… as Belfast and Steelers looked stacked…
Cardiff look decent too…. Don’t get these signings right and we’ll finish mid table again, although we look good currently, need to elevate on to Steelers/Giants/Cardiffs level

Depends on how much they've spent on tempting Herr back. The money pot is only soo big.

We had to buy Herr out his contract as he had a year left where he was, plus salary for the season ahead. guessing it took a large chunk out the budget. But as someone else said, we might (whether through choice or budget reasons) be waiting for a few bargains to come out of the try outs from bigger leagues.

So the 3 signings yesterday on 2 ways aren’t counted towards filling the roster?
Two more still to expected?
