Devils sign Tyson Marsh 2012/13
- Thread starter TheStub
- Start date
Welcome to Cardiff, Tyson. Yet ANOTHER quality addition to the Devils' roster.
A quality all-round defenceman. Read G and Franny's words and the emphasis again is on a combination of qualities - hockey skill and, equally importantly, fantastic work ethic and leadership. Tyson sounds like the right 'fit' for the Team.
So many uknowns still.......
Stuu's return still open-ended.
We don't know yet if G will decide to play forward or defence
Will the Devils go with 10 imports initially and recruit an 11th later?
Any more British players joining the Team?
Exciting times.

I’m going against the grain with some people here but I’d be more than happy for G to play D. We had a very solid defence last season. Sure we’ve lost Richie but with the extra import rule, we have covered that loss and also have currently the best gaolie in the league. We’re actually stronger in D with Gerad at the back and with the addition of Marsh (on paper anyhow).
Where we struggled last season was up front. We couldn’t score when needed. This is where I feel we need to strengthen on last year. G playing defence will open the door to some offense if we get the right players. If he does bring in utility player who can drop back like Dobben did last year when injuries hit our D then we’re covered for any loss in defence.
I actually think G playing D is a shrewd move and support it.

Koop certainly makes an good point about needing more offence, but I also agree with osh that it would be a bit of a worry to not go with another Dman.
One possible solution would be to sign Frank (or someone similar). He can start the season as a 3rd line winger and drop back if needed.
I guess if we realistically aren't going to be challenging for the league title, it is better to score lots of goals than try and win games 1-0 or 2-1. And as Koop says, we do have at the moment the best netminder in the league who can usually steal you a couple of goals.

:lol: love your optimism W2, let's hope eh? Nice to see that our 3 new signings have a great mutual respect for each other. I thing G has done well so far and who he signs in the next 6 - 8 weeks will be interesting to see how he counters other teams signings ( especially the teams we play more games against). My personal realistic wish is that we are able to start the season with 11 imports, if so, G to play as a forward, bringing in a decent stay at home intimidating D who will be able to go with any of the new signings made by other teams ( but only when totally necessary ) and the final piece of our jigsaw will be the last remaining 2 forward import slots. Would be nice to see Stu back ( but I've got my doubts about that) if he doesn't return, a goal scoring centre, and a playmaker similar to the quality of Matzka . G will ensure all signings will be hardworking that's for sure.
