I see Guildford are after Coughler. That makes much more sense in my opinion. I still maintain the Devils going back to Coughler would have been an odd decision.

Our strongest roster (on paper) post Covid. The previous three seasons I sat there in August thinking we looked like a 2nd/3rd/even 4th placed team. This roster looks like a roster than can realistically win the league. I’m not saying we will, Sheffield will be strong again and Belfast should be...

I think we will start the season with 21 players on our roster. A few times recently on social media the devils have posted a picture of the 2024/25 “Team so far”. It has photos of all the players currently signed and question marks over the players yet to be announced. If you count all the...

I recorded it and sat down to watch it this morning. I switched the tv on and it was on sky sports news and the bloody score flashed up :mad: I thought there would be more chance of me seeing the result on ITV 3 than sky sports news!

I can think of a couple of others pre EIHL. Early 2000’s when it was still the Superleague. Jim Paek and Frank Pietrangelo

Theo Fleury. Played for Belfast and he won the cup in 1989 with the Flames

That’s a positive in my opinion. It seems like 90% of the fan base were happy to have him back but it didn’t make sense to me.

That’s merely child’s play. There’s only room for one “Baby Reindeer” on this forum!

A very good goalscorer at this level and he’s given us some great moments. If I’m honest though I’ve never fancied us to win the league with players like Cox and Sanford playing big minutes. The right time to move on from both players in my opinion (I assume cox is leaving) but I wish them well.

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/19165/andrew-macwilliam A couple of people connected to this guy have started following the Devils on social media. I wonder if he could be our new stay at home Dman. Calgary born so he might know the owners. He’s 34 so he might be ready to drop down a...

Fair point regarding the injury. I still think Todd and Pete expected Ully to be one of the league MVP’s (let’s say one of the league MVP’s rather than a top 10 scorer) and I don’t think anybody would class him as one of the very best players in the league last season. Maybe my expectations were...

Ully wasn’t a failure but he didn’t have the impact I was expecting. His stats last season look fine but I would put money on it that Kelman and Russell pencilled him in as a top 10 league point scorer and he fell short of that. He’s very replaceable

The reliable UK Ice Hockey Rumours account. I didn’t mind us going back to Martin and Fournier, both special Devils players. As I said I like Coughler but it would be the wrong call in my opinion.

Looks like Coughler might be returning then. I’m not sure about that one. I liked Coughler when he was here but it was the right time for him to move on and I don’t think we should be looking to bring him back.

So do we think Duggan is definitely leaving as well? Is it likely to be Waller and Duggan out, Perlini and Harewood (permanently) in?
