The guessing game

[Soundwave1]

Ok, this thread is intended to be a bit of fun and will hopefully keep us busy until the new signing is announced.

I thought we could all put forward some suggestions for the new player. I guess it can be who you think it is and/or who you would like, but they have to loosely fit in with the criteria we have heard so far from G. So based on the fact then player is younger, have an eye for goal, is Canadian, and is a right shot. I guess they should be roughly 6 foot plus as well. I'm also basing it on players who have some kind of link to current Devils as we don't have much else to go on!

Here goes;

Craig MacDonald (Early frontrunner)

Ticks the above boxes and played with Prpich in New Mexico and played colege hockey with Silverthorn.

Top line of Prpich, Silverthorn, MacDonald? Is there any point in me continuing? Ah well.....

Konrad Reeder (Awesome season in 07/08)

Right hand shot, younger, canadian, definately an eye for goal, and has only played one game this season (with one goal) However, he's less than 6 foot.

Brett Hemingway

Justin Aikins (good record, but less so last year)

I'm saying Macdonald, infact i've convinced myself it's definately, 100% him.

Whether it actually is or not I don't know

Chris.

Konrad Reeder (Awesome season in 07/08)

Signed for Colorado in the CHL according to the Scorps fan forum.

 

[Koop11]

I'm saying none of them.

 

[puck]

I'm agreeing with Koop!

Also, I don't think it will be a particularly high profile signing. With Tyson coming in, I very much doubt it will be a big money signing, so expect a young, relatively unknown forward. For some reason I think he will definitely be from North America, not from Europe - no basis!

I don't think its MacDonald......G's quote "I’m looking at bringing in a younger guy, a right handed player who can really shoot the puck"

....and MacDonald shoots http://www.scorpionshockey.com/index.php?page=4

My bad, I don't know why I thought he was a righty. I must have got swept up by the Macdonald lobby!

Third picture down on LINK Is that not Macdonald holding a right handed stick? or have i got the the way the stick is determined left and right the wrong way around?

 

[davew]

It is confusing but a right handed player should be shooting left and vice versa.

 

[Sticktape22]

if you're a 'lefty' you hold the top of the stick with your right hand and swing from left to right.

the pics look like a lefty stick but it's hard to tell.

but if you play left handhand doesn't necessarily mean you are left handed in other activities

anyhow back to the topic!

 

[Wannabe2]

I'm saying none of them.

I,m with you Koop.

 

[Rempel16]

How about Paul Cabana???

He's younger, canadian, 6'0, right handed shot, got a good eye for goal and doesn't seem to have a club at the moment.

He was quality with Glowa for the first month or two last season!

 

[Gazza272]

Interestingly in the walesonline mini podcast with Terry Phillips today it stated our new player is from the CHL and is currently there.


Looking more and more likely that its macdonald then for my money.

 

[James]

where is the podcast Gazza. Wales Online's site is a nightmare to navigate.

 

[Soundwave1]

Just to keep this updated, Konrad Reeder has signed in Denmark. I know I was the only one who thought he was a possibility anyway!

[Reggie Dunlop]

I thought this guy looked interesting - couldn't find any stats on him though :evil:

could provide some much needed monkey business around the pipes! :lol:

 

[Wannabe2]

Thought he had already gone.

i think it wil be MacDonald, G has said young but he is only 27 compared to Hinks who is was 35? or so, Anderson 34?, so he is relativley young compared to half the players in the league

 

[Gazza272]

It is confusing but a right handed player should be shooting left and vice versa.

I see, because i had always considered Silverthorn to be a right shot rather than a left shot. And to me the picture of macdoanld looks like he shoots the same to silverthorn.


But then if G is coming at it from the different perspective then it cant be Macdoanld coming over here. Which is a shame as he looked really good. Or maybe G has it wrong and some here are right :lol:
