Many fans loved what Carruth brought to the Devils. His record spoke for itself, his professionalism on the ice and his work ethic was exceptional....but we need to get over him, sadly. He will never appear on our roster again whilst playing so well elsewhere, and the prospect of playing in better leagues. And it is highly unlikely that he will not be at the Devils whilst Bowns is in goal. Bownsey will continue to be the Team GB goalie who will need plenty of icetime to stay in shape. A goalie of Carruth's stature and experience will be expecting to be the 1st choice always.
Whoever is our no2 nettie will need to be a good, competent (maybe younger) goalie who is accepting of a lesser role ....but will need to be given real time 'live' game experience to develop himself and give Bowns a rest from all his commitments (Continental Cup and Team GB duties coming up soon)
