2016/2017 Rumours & Offseason Random Shenanigans

[RTfarty]

This guy from Tilburg might be worth a look as a gritty 4th liner with some size and some scoring.

Can't see a player of this calibre coming over to play 4th line hockey. 27 years of age, proven points scorer and has captained club and country.

Tilburg are Germany 3 though so he may have more ambition than that... We'll see just how good they are soon! He's big and physical but has a very limited Fight Card (not that I think that's essential).

SEAN O'CONNOR is a big guy who plays a strong physical game and holds a german passport?

I just came across him too... Looks decent, he'd do a job: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=15249

He's been a class act for years, consistently around the DEL and putting it points for years

From that interview, my prediction is that the only player that will sign before the season is Ben Davies, then maybe an import to come in around January like with Russell, Tahtinen, Fournier etc.

 

[ASHIPP]

Are the Devils waiting to see if Ben is successful or not with a NA offer before moving on discussions?

 

[Rabbitohs4]

Well who is lying then??
Kelman said Davies is a maybe but we could also start the season short.
King say there still looking for a tough forward.
Lord says we are looking for someone with a eu passport.

Sign a player please guys don't start the season short??

 

[bdevil]

Maybe no-one is? They are looking for a tough forward (King) with an EU passport (Lord) but if the right guy doesn't come along we may start the season short (Kelman). Davies could be a maybe whether we sign an EU import or not.

WD Bit harsh, perhaps they are just keeping their options open and nothing cast in stone?............hardly lying

 

[Rabbitohs4]

Maybe they don't know what they want.

And are going to see what this team brings first?

All 3 could be true

Todd actually says they could sign a EU passport player OR a Brit.

 

[Devil94]

Don't forget we still have well over a month before the proper season starts. So no hurry, as Todd said, they will take their time.

 

[MattHuskie]

That's a good point. I'd actually got sucked in to feeling that we need everything in place in the next 2 weeks.
Actually we don't. It would be nice, but taking the squad we have into pre season and adding the right guy in a month or even 2 or 3 months time should actually be fine

There really is no rush and if there aren't the right guys out there right now, maybe after pre seasons and training camps there wll be.

Was thinking this, as if what people say are true that we were pipped at the post to signing of Rosehill, then perhaps Todd just wants to keep a low down on players he's talking to or interested in.

 

[Rabbitohs4]

I been watching clips of bentoviglio and ulmer and I am very impressed!
Some of there touches and vision etc are of a high quality. Bentoviglio scored against clan 2 years ago.
They both scored in a playoff against Russian side in the continental cup.

They must be on the same line and I hope it's the first line too

Does Rosehill have an EU passport? if not i can't really see how we were pipped to his signing like some are suggesting.

as soon as Hervato left then the Rosehill deal would have had to have died. Braehead then had a clear run at him.

Not really if you ran with a spare import.???

If we're thinking of starting the season one import down I don't think starting with a spare import was ever in the question.

Apparently TK confirmed at 'Mega Monday' that we wouldn't be carrying a spare import this season, so I don't think that was ever likely to be the case.
