Get the feeling we could be looking at a signing Tuesday or Wednesday....
New forward, or the NM
No insider info, just a random feeling on a Sunday night
Devils have been referring to putting together a dream team or similar. Last time they did that they announced MacWilliam, Gourley, Shinkaruk and Duke at the Summit.
If the club wanted to make a similar statement this summer, rather than having Harewood as the spare forward (2-way instead)...
That Sanford came back so quickly, and that players like Martin and Fournier have done a bit of Europe and then come back - helps show how good a place to be the Devils organisation is.
Moving away from that, the roster:
Bowns, and a new NM TBC
Estes, TBC

GIANTS | Cassetti looking for fresh start
Joe Cassetti, who suffered a dislocated shoulder early last season and didn't play again in 24/25, has left for Germany's Kaufbeuren of the DEL2. He's joining former Clan forward Tyson McLellan...
I rated Bednard when he arrived and the Panthers lucked out picking up Grande as his replacement when he was injured. However neither him nor McAdam are going to be ok with sitting on the bench and waiting for Bowns to get injured, or just getting a few games in Scotland.
I agree that going...
BLAZE | EIHL pair sign in France, with sights set on silverware
Coventry have lost their top points scorer from last season, as Chase Gresock boards a flight to Rouen in France. He'll be sat next to Mac Carruth.
