He's never been a fighter, can't remember him ever being sold as that either. You might have seen some old clips of him fighting, but 10 years ago that's what players like him had to do to either stay or get called up to the NHL. Same goes for Strachan and Mikkelson, they had plenty of fights in...

MacWilliam was very solid for us last year, I would be happy if he came back. Don't think he is though. He was strong and tough, threw some huge hits. He didn't fight but that's not an issue, it's just not what he does, still played a heavy physical game. If we assume Kay is a spare or on...

I'm gonna say Caponi, Stoever and Perlini as 3 of the 4. 4th could be Lacroix, or Duke, Brandt, ZOB or even possibly Shinkaruk.

The third option of course, like with any other player is that management think we can upgrade. Although he is a fan favourite, let's be honest he is very replaceable. If Caponi signs, and I'm sure that he will, it could be that management think they have found a very similar player who is...

One aspect I would like to see in the remaining signings is younger players. The average age for the roster so far is 30.5. That's the same as last season, and we were the oldest roster in the league.

Why are you concerned about his loyalty to Kaufbeuren? He's loyal to us, that's all that should matter.

McDonald - ? - ? Perlini - Martin - Sanford ?(Maybe Lacroix) - Oli - Barrow Duggan - Caponi - Davies If Brandt does sign then I'm not too sure where he fits in. Him and Caponi look pretty identical players, and wouldn't want any of that 4th line up to the 3rd ideally. The fourth line looks good...

No mention of a 2 way in that article so looks to be full time. It's a big jump for him, hopefully it all works out well for him and us and that he's a big part of our future. Our 3rd D pairing will have a 20 years age difference.

Where do you get the idea that Stoever is weak? He was 2nd in save percentage in the whole NCAA last year. To put that in perspective, 17 NCAA goalies from last year are signed to NHL contracts.

Why would BB take a step back behind those two when he was better than them last year?

That's why I said money doesn't decide championships on its own. Manchester Storm came 2nd in 17/18, ahead of Sheffield and Belfast. Guildford were only 2 points away from winning the league in 22/23. It doesn't mean we expect them to do that every year. You need the recruitment to be bang on...

Well Sheffield have been doing that, and have been successful in doing so. Last year Greenfield played 67 of their games, their other goalies combined played 16. The previous year in their grand slam season, Greenfield played 47 league games and their back up played 7. Having 2 goalies of...

Doesn't matter if you buy it or not, it's the truth. Their costs will be higher yes, but the amount of tickets they sell will far outweigh that, then you add the extra merchandise and 50/50 sales on top, it's a big difference. Todd has said many times he would trade the arrangement we have with...

But Sheffield and Belfast have more money. Maybe we have decided that instead of spending more money on quality sitting on the bench for 60mins every night, we spread the budget further on the ice instead.

Depends on who that British goalie is. We need someone on the bench that in theory we would be comfortable having in net for 55 mins if Bownsy breaks down. Most of the British goalies these days who would fit that bill will sign in the NIHL, instead of opening the bench gate all year. Which is...
