Cardiff Devils Confirmed Signings & Departures 2015/16
- Thread starter Skippy
- Start date
Kurka was on considerably more than anyone on the team last time. He was fantastic in a quite frankly shit team, playing in a team with no leadership and poor tactics. He still put up big points and stood out massively for me.
As for high salaries not being considered biz was SIGNED, no doubt on a much higher wage than anyone else only 6 months ago. Never say never!!
Szwez would be a good signing as well. We have lots of fire power up the minute but i would like someone with a bit of toughness as one of the final two forwards. Hence why i said biz up top.

Personally id rather a forward in the bin if any because you then keep your D partnerships. Bear in mind szwez is very tough and puts up loads of points. Same as biz. Im not talking a tough mug for this last position. Im talking about balance and believe a strong player and a high skilled player as our last two signings would give you better balance
I know a couple of people have said they'd like two tough guys like Biz or McGratton as our final two imports - but they're both wingers and if we ever did see Biz back here I think it'd be on D.
Assuming that we're not going to play anyone out of position then our last two forwards are going to need to be centres.
One will either be Culligan or a replacement for Culligan/Markuu. Neither were prolific scorers or particularly physical, but good defensively and very reliable. If Culligan doesn't return then will we see a similar style of player or will Lord be looking for someone who can contribute a bit more physicality and scoring?
The other centre will effectively be Myers' replacement. Now, the rumours are the time were that it was our decision not to re-sign Myers rather than him deciding to move on. Just because the import limit went up didn't mean we had to sign 13 imports - we could have kept Myers who for me is just as good as many imports in this league.
Which makes me think released Myers because we knew there wasn't going to space for him. Had we already identified his replacement? Perhaps it's a bit of wishful thinking from me - but I'm hoping that Myers' replacement is real wow signing. A big, highscoring centre who is also physical when needed. A Jason Ruff type signing.
We're also down on our forward physicality so far compared to last season. Salters is effectively replacing Mychan but with Clarkson being replaced by Doucet we need IMO one of our centres to be a tough, physical player.

Too late to edit my post, but someone like Warren Peters would fit the bill.
Not so much of a guess but a wishing-guess would be someone like Kris Newbury:
