2012/13 Rumours Thread - Absolute nonsense spotted!

To me Phil and Stu are the two key players to bring back next season!! I heard that Stu had said if he plays hockey it'll only be for Cardiff so it was a choice between Cardiff and work outside of hockey, if Phil signing is dependent on his decision too I think we all need to get on twitter and make it know how much we want/need Stu back to captain the team again next season! Nothing like a little friendly pressure

Osrevich or how ever you spell it is not as good as people are saying..
He is or will be a good d man for this league but no better than a kenton smith id say.
The good thing is he would fight for his team mates

To compare and say he is no better than Kenton is silly. He has played 3 full seasons at AHL level and has had NHL call ups and is still a yound lad...Kenton has played less than a dozen AHL games after many seasons in the US.

No one gets 216 games in the AHL without doing something right! And he got 10 NHL games for Toronto Maple Leafs. Plus he's only 25 so he could still have some of his best years to come... If we don't get Weller back I'd love to see us sign this guy, he looks like a top draw stay at home D'man who will look after his team mates!
Think the ground has already been prepared for us to suggest that Stu is considering other options. Both he and the Club have been open about this and this is commendable. The fact that it has not been announced that he has re-signed by now would suggest very strongly that playing for the Devils next season is not top of Stuuu's list of priorities.
It would be a huge blow if Stuu didn't return - everybody wants our Captain back. But he does have another life, he's highly qualified and would be leaving for all the right reasons. G has already intimated he is looking at possible replacements - he's smartly covering all options.
As for Phil, I doubt very much that a player would base his future career solely upon the decision of another player returning to a Club or not. Each player has his own career to consider first and foremost....and that often means getting the best deal. Would find it v hard to imagine any other interested Club could make a better comptetive tie-in offer than Phil's own home Club. He's got a vital role to play in the future of the Devils. PR and G will be very conscious of that.
Matthew Meyers is an example of another player who was not announced properly until the other British players on his team had been confirmed.
