Walesonline article: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballna ... -26401932/
Article says negotations on going with michel and voth and that a contract offer has been made to a new player.
Looks to be a very good signing that again seems to have little trouble finding the back of the net.
Now we have our 3 centers what do people think the lines will be? will macrae be our first line center?
Really looking forward to seeing pelle and macrae play

Just had a look on the CHL forums and one opinion of Macrae by a fan is:
You can have him....He is a puck hog and thinks he is the only one on the ice when ihas the puck. He runs from any kinda physical contact. Then he acts like he is better then everybody when he is on or off the ice even around the fans.
:? i hope thats not the case, an attitude we could do without having this season.

Interesting comment from Adams on that WalesOnline article:
Is that a suggestion that MacRae will be our 3rd line centre? Surely you wouldn't say that about a 1st line centre?
Unless MacRae is our 2nd line centre and Finnerty is going to be on the first line. Perhaps far too early to start to work it all out?

That almost sounds like some of the comments on here about a certain Devils player who may not be coming back! :roll:
Seriously, Stuart has been signed partly on Wes's recommendation from knowing him (personally?) and as a player. If he is half as professional as Wes, we should be very pleased.
Let's leave the judgements until he's on the ice.
Welcome to Cardiff, Stuart. The season can't start quick enough!
Think we're definately getting the picture of the quality and style of players G is targeting to build a team that can really challenge again....fast and gritty. 2 goalscoring centres for hopefully 2 years at Business School will really help stabilise the forward lines.

Wont need to be, or be able to be greedy with the team he is joining this season, and he will be happier in Cardiff than he has ever been before no problem there. Welcome to Cardiff Stuart you will enjoy your stay big time, just as your mate Wes did, the team is coming together very nicely thank you, bring on the season i say.
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.
But why is it that some fans are never happy unless a player has anything less than substantial NHL or AHL experience? :x
For instance, some Panthers fans seem to be forgetting that it's all about how that player works with the rest of the team that impacts on performance, and not neccessarily the fact that the player might have been a 'big gun' in North America a few year's ago.
Most imports have played in leagues of a higher standard than British ice hockey. Ironically, Marty Gascon for the Panthers, a player with no NHL/AHL experience and a virtual unknown to the UK, performed almost as well points-wise as Cameron Mann and Jay Henderson.
Granted Henderson joined half way through the season, but Gascon didn't play every game either being left out a few times by Uncle Corey! There are plenty of other examples too of outstanding players in without NHL/AHL experience but are gritty, fast and hungry to perform.
