With Brandon McNally out for the next few weeks, the Cardiff Devils have signed former Sheffield Steeler Andreas Valdix on a short-term contract.

McNally is a big loss for us, but at least we have cover now. No more word on the rumoured big October signing though. Surely jenks isn't stumped.

He was pretty good in his Sheffield days, great to have an extra body - particularly for the upcoming CHL games. McNally will be missed though.

I thought it was BostonBart that said we were signing someone in October.

Anyway, I'm intrigued to find out who it is.

I think it was, I was just joking that by now jenks and his surveillance van would have all of the answers. ;-)

Let's just hope Jenks has enough fuel for the surveillance van.

Valdix is a pretty good signing in fairness, has a very good pedigree had some tidy numbers for Steelers and will be a asset short term, unless of course he does the business and stays, not as a replacement for anyone of course.

 

[Devil94]

At short notice that is a decent signing. Was pretty gritty if I remember too, as well as putting put points.

Think its a good addition to the team, solid player, will do the job for us.
On the McNally front, a supporter i was speaking to last night said they saw him in the car park before the game going in to the arena and wrist was in a cast. Again, i didn't see this, i was told this.

This could be the one, short term at the moment but we will see, always good to carry a spare , as long as funds are good ..

 

[Earnie]

He will be a spare after McNally returns if we keep him. I hope we do.

 

[jenks33]

To be fair that’s a pretty good injury replacement. Hopefully he impresses but if not Mcnally will be back in early November. More of a disher than a goalscorer if my memory serves me right. The Dowd, Nelson, Valdix line was always a threat. I assume he will go on a line with Dupont and Lammon? Could be a dangerous third line that

Jumping from Germany3 to the CHL at 39 is a bit of an ask but looks like a convenient option and a happy addition for our up coming games.

He’s 36.

 

[ASHIPP]

He'll do! An assists expert who was liked by Steelers fans. (And he must have been good to have lasted more than a season at that club) They probably hate him now!

A solid, reliable player with European experience and knows Elite League. Hopefully he will enjoy playing for the Champions!

Welcome Andreas

I saw him driving to the rink and he looked like he was in a cast but he was taking puck sponsorships without so I assume it’s a splint

 

[kristian]

Yeah saw that also

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

I wonder number jersey he'll wear.

 

[Wannabe2]

24 and he will beat the crap out of anyone.

 

[jenks33]

I wonder number jersey he'll wear.

He’s worn 14 and 12 but obviously not available in cardiff. I think he wore 23 in Sweden and 33 in Germany so one of those two numbers I reckon.
