Well, there is no doubt that Mike worked his socks off at times when he played for the Devils before, was one of the Devils' regular point scorers...and fought his way back to fitness from quite a serious injury which is very admirable.
Whatever the previous issue before last season which saw his release from the Devils, Prps appears still to be respected and liked by players and the organisation...otherwise he wouldn't be training with them! Although not personally one of my favourites, it wouldn't suprise me if he is sought after by clubs in the UK.
As far as the Devils are concerned - he knows them well, they know him. I suppose the question is whether he could be a good fit now and whether he is needed.

If Prpich is prepared to be part of the team i would take him in a heartbeat. He top scored for us in a year where our offense went walk about for large parts of the season. Prpich - part of a team where he doesn't have to be the top scorer - which should happen with the likes of pelle, matska etc, would be one of the leagues best playmakers imo.
He came to us as a potential big league player who suddenly found himself unable to play in those leagues - if our 'issue' had been managed better i would have liked to see mike as a mainstay of our team for the whole 5 years he can't play in north america.

Good points folks. I liked the fact that he wasn't a heavyweight fighter as such, more a middleweight if you know what I mean, but he never shirked his duties and would mix it with the big guys even knowing he was on a loser, but that's the type of player he was with us. Shame our resources, import quotas etc don't allow him to stay with us as I feel he could slot into our team without too much trouble and be seen as a very reliable player who doesn't have to live up to a highbrow reputation in contrast to when he originally joined us.
Was thinking the same Sheincar.Surely there would be no underlying problems from last season with Hartwick moved on.
I always rated him and was gutted he was gassed last year and certainly glad he did not play against us with a point to prove.Would love our budget to carry an extra import and maybe G rotating when we need more D but Prps playing if we short in offense.

Plus the EIHL have issues with teams using ENL teams to carry spare imports.
It would be nice to see him back, even if it would be hard to see the fit in the roster at the moment.
Bring our top ENL guy up and play real 4 line hockey?
Just a thought, but we seem to have had a few guys part on bad terms in recent season. I hope it doesn't imply major problems in the dressing room.
