i don't see Harewood getting Perlini numbers in his first season , if he gets half it would be a good season for him, as for duggan , he may be a good at certain jobs like shutting down plays or set pieces , i don't know if i see it my self, id defiantly be look at any young talent coming up though, if you don't improve in your lacking areas then your destined for mid table, id like to know of any 2 way players Cardiff are looking at.

 

[Wannabe2]

2 goals in 47 games hope Harewood can at least reach that

Am I right in thinking Caponi and Brandt are the only 2 who we still don’t know what’s happening, although I don’t believe Brandt is going anywhere.

 

[tim78]

And Ferguson

And Ferguson

Oops quite right and Ferguson, thank you.

 

[Earnie]

I think Ferguson will retire.
He was a workhorse whilst here - loved him.

 

[Wannabe2]

So Fergie to retire, Connor to move on possibly to another EIHL team, and Brandt to return to the Devils with a possible tidy sniper.

With one more signing, that already gives us 2 spares. One is probably Sacratini to start, and the other if reports are true will be Helgeson until he's back fit. What makes you think there are two more? I can't see us starting the season with 3 players on the gantry.

Surely will only be one more, and I hope it's a first line sniper.

 

[Wannabe2]

I don’t really think there will be 2 more, I am convinced Brandt will be back and I know the club says 1 more signing and that’s it. But with the price hike, winning a trophy and getting 2nd in the league a further player wouldn’t surprise me, the club just may think let’s go all out but that’s just my thinking. What will be will be.

 

[Neil1986]

As much as I like Brandt, if it is to be just one more signing, I think we need a first line sniper.

 

[Earnie]

Well whoever it is, for goodness sake get it over with and don’t drag it out any longer!!

 

[Devils86]

I can't see Caponi at another EIHL side, more likely to find a spot on the ECHL surely. He came to us because of the Denver connection with King, Olischefski, and Barrow.

I thought because of that link he would have been retained for another season. He's definitely a work in progress rather than the finished article.

In any event, wish him the best.

Let's get this roster announced, Devils

Caponi confirmed as moving on https://www.facebook.com/CardiffDev...mqSRQTd4KdCb4FNnRTDfseZvhVzjdmT36UNJNWqkzJmRl

 

[E.D.S.]

I understand the rationale but Cap is a guy I enjoyed watching and was always more excited knowing he was in the line up. There aren’t many players who are able to do that. Gave it his all when called upon. His playoff goal is one of, if not THE, highlight of last season for me.
Good luck to him.
