How do people think the D is shaping up physicality wise. Pari is 5'11 if it is him and Reddick both under 6ft, fourner is around the 6ft mark plus Ritchie but these four arent really the physical type. We have Blood and Louis standing 6'4 and physical but will that be enough, genuine questions on people's thoughts
It will be more than enough. Our D has always been too offensive and we have relied on Hotham and Fournier for goals. We still have that offensive ability on our new D however I feel it will be a bit more defensive and smarter. Thats why I think we have a couple or real standouts in our forward line up and they will be the ones putting the puck in the net now.
Blood and Louis will clear the net and make it uncomfortable for guys who wish to rush toward the net.
Blood has a boomer so we can expect some goals from the point.
Louis can be both defensive and offensive as he played forward in his ECHL/AHL days.
Richie is as solid a d man as you will ever see in thew EIHL and can contribute in every way.
Fournier is the best skating D man/player weve had since Weller and like Richie can do everything plus will put up some goals.
Reddick will give 110% and do whatever is asked of him (great trait to have).
If we sign Parisi he imo will be the biggest shock to everyone. Expect a great all rounder who plays smart and contributes in every way.
Hotham will always be missed but with the signing of Hedden, Dixon and potentially Linglet will cover those goals and plays but 3x more!!!!
Happy hockey days to come.
