[kettdevil1]

I will put 2 and 2 together and make 5 by saying that the announcement will be the return of Bowns

 

[Welshy74]

#23

 

[bdevil]

I think I'm right in saying Martin has been 1st announcement last 2 years. So by that theory, I think it'll be no.88

 

[ASHIPP]

Will be v surprised if it's a British player whilst they are still playing in the Worlds. Usually announced afterwards.

Get the cheque book out

As part of getting to 3 x under 23 I'd swap CJ & Piggsy (sorry) for Stewart and Duggan

 

[wildthing74]

Can't take Stewart as he's classsd as an import. Duggan will be highly sought after no doubt but he would be nuts to come back yet he will develop way better where he is.

I'd be quite happy to see Stewart back at the Blaze next year, he offered a lot more than most of our top imports last year and gets better game by game.
People seem to discount him because he's almost a Brit and OK he may not be high end import quality but he's a cracking player, week in week out

Of course, I'd forgotten that to be a Brit for EIHL is not a matter of nationality but as for Duggan yes he would be nuts hence the need for the cheque book

Cheque book hockey has been the blight of past leagues in this country. Duggan will be in massive demand. No point throwing money at a player in a small market - it sets an awkward precendent.
And he may be very happy growing his experience in Sweden.

Todd and the owners have stated several times in the past they will not waste resources getting bidding wars with other clubs. They have done a damn fine job on recruitment without having to do that...TK and Lordo will work out something for the U23 situation- of that we can be sure.

Is Duggan playing top-level hockey in Sweden or is he in a development team or something?

Hell of a player. But would be surprised to see him come over here at this stage of his career after putting those numbers up in Finland last few years.

He's in the Swedish u20's with Orebro. 2 years left there, yet to be called up to the Allsvenskan or SHL but I'd expect him to possibly get a chance within those 2 years.

Joe Lewis released from his German team.

[jamie mott]

Would love to see him in a Devils jersey.

Not sure who's place I'd give him mind you. Tough one.

Unless we decide to let Batch go ahead in the role of a power forward.
