During CHL draw yesterday they said Liam Stewart from Cardiff, yes maybe this was a mistake or maybe it was a slip of the tongue, but who would he replace I'm our team & I was thinking (don't shoot me down) maybe Brine & the fact Steward hits hard & plays a tough game too?! Just strange they say it at draw & we are announcing a signing tomorrow!! (Just a thought).
I heard the slip myself, i think it was in reference to him playing in the UK rather than Cardiff but didn't sound like it!
Stewart lacks a little offensive instinct, but other than this offers hell of a lot to any team.
It's difficult to judge just how much he brings to the table, looking at points alone his brief stint in ECHL was poor & i thought initially it was a bad signing by the Blaze.
However in a team of struggling players he did seem to stand out & his work rate was exceptional. Like a bigger Zach Hervato.
It's difficult to see who he would replace on our 16/17 roster as we didn't really have anyone in that mould, I'd say he was a combination of Brine/Piggott/Lord in his style though.
Given a second season in the league if he can develop his offensive game a little harder he could be a decent signing for any team.
