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...

I'm sure he would have been offered a full time place in Fife again, so I wonder if he wants a bigger role at Bristol and the odd game for us. Can't claim I know anything about him really but getting him on a full time basis as a Batch replacement seems a bit of a risk, especially for a defenceman.

Could well be. There was a rumour about the rumours (god how sad are we) a while ago that it was someone working in the immigration department that was processing the visas that the players need, applied for by the clubs. But I guess you only need to know one person like an agent who talks to...

In his interview Thommo said he's gonna bring in players that's something different to the league, and players that wouldn't usually consider this league because of the contacts he's got in Europe. And presumably Hovivuori has got some good contacts too. So far, the confirmed and rumoured new...

Last off season it said we were in talks with Ollie Bettridge, Coughler and Crinella. Which we might have been, but they weren't close to happening as far as I'm aware. I would say that the account knows no more on this one than we do. Could still happen though. A follow on IG is usually a good...

Whoever runs that account reads the Inferno then... "In talks with" is rather vague, we have probably been in talks with dozens of players.

Very possible that they are bumped up one. I'm not convinced about the Lacroix rumour though. Seemed a strange one for me when I first heard it, and there's an European hockey news site that posted that he's off to Frankfurt in the DEL. But maybe, we'll see. Wouldn't be disappointed to see Reid...

Now we need to sign the goals. My optimistic self hopes that we have a full new first line to come. ? - ? - ? MacDonald - Martin - Sanford Perlini - Oli - Barrow Davies - Caponi- Duggan Should be a good amount of secondary scoring from that 3rd line, that 2nd we know will perform. A brand new...

With the rumour mill being quiet at the moment, thought I would start my own. Well, bit more of a dream maybe than a rumour. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/107909/hudson-elynuik This guy as our marquee signing for the year would be incredible. He looks to be close friends with Helgesen...
