Great to have Fournier back. I’m going to guess that Estes and Helgessen will be back. Welsh to partner Fournier on 2nd, and Moseys role a lot more versatile. Covering Defence or attacks if there are any injuries, perhaps giving Richardson a lighter schedule. Instead of having the likes of a McLean, it would make sense to have someone who can fill virtually all roles , bar goalie, when called upon - knows the league inside out etc. etc. perfect versatile spare, but also good enough to be a week in, week out fixture if required. May be well off the mark here mind! lol.

Yeah surely that means Estes won’t be back? I can’t see us having Welsh, Estes and Fournier on the same roster.
Imagine if we do though! Wow!

Delighted with this re-signing. Just goes to show that ‘a bad coach will beat a good player any time’. Fourns was a shadow of himself under PR. Last season he was back to his brilliant and effortless best.

That's my thinking/hope too. Last year the D pairings were very stable and the chances of having another largely injury free year are slim, especially as all are another year older. And if Helgesen is planned to miss the early part of the season, three alternative pairings will be needed from the start.

So far, Oligny, Fournier, Welsh and Mosey is a great start.

Awesome having fourns back, one of the main contributors of the powerplay turning around towards the end of the season, looking like another strong D core again this year

If bowns is back i think it will be his last season in eihl, then step down to Bristol or Swindon maybe 27/28, hopefully good chance stoever is back especially the relationship with PT, and he settled in really well in his first season .
