EIHL Rosters 2017-18: Ins and Outs (as of 14 May 2017)

Hello once more; for another look at how the Elite League sides are building up for the 2017-18 season. A bit has happened since the last update a few weeks ago, the biggest announcement being that Dundee, Edinburgh and Fife will be in the EIHL after a bit of uncertainty. We all knew they'd in, didn't we?
