So that's where they know each other from! Trevor Hendrikx vs. Andrew Lord...

He looks a good signing, although would be nice to see him replicate what he was able to do in his Youth that got him drafted twice.
Will add plenty of toughness to our weak team... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Super excited with the team and how it's shaping up. Looks like being one hell of a season!
With regards to the maxi situation, the Batch article says that Batch will be playing as part of a 6 D man unit.
Let's say for arguments sake, the lines go:
Marsh-Hendrikx
Richie-Hudson
Batch-Import
That would imply that there's only 1 more D to sign (and it's another import...)
Therefore, there's still space to sign another import (if we want/need to?)
The forward lines, for arguments sake:
LW - C - RW
Haddad-Culligan-Walton
Clarkson-Lord-Import
Mychan-Myers-Mo
Piggott CJ
This would mean that there's still space for an import forward, but it's gotta be a right winger (unless Lord/Mo are playing as wingers/centres)
Either way you look at it, we don't really have a need for a LW guy, so i guess it's looking doubtful for Maxi already, and i wouldn't like to see him playing on D.
I agree though, it would have been lovely to see him back with us in Devils colours.

Looks like an excellent addition to our defence.
And this takes the pressure from Marsh and Hudson in terms of being relied on for toughness.
Looking at how we are stacked now I would expect Mychan to be the most active, with Hendrikx next. Then Clarkson will be used as an intimidating presence. We then have further toughness down the roster through Marsh, Hudson and Lord, but I am expecting these three to be too valuable on the ice to be fighting often.
I would suggest that this guy is the replacement for Plumton and he looks a good one.
Not sure how he was the best bodychecker in the CHL though as i thought Bochek (Coventry new forward) was voted that accolade. Regardless, he's likely to be fairly physical and the way we are looking there isn't a team in the league that will enjoy coming into the BBT this year (although i'm sure Keefe and Morency will relish the challenge).
Roll on September.

You're right about Bocheck: "Trevor Hendrikx was third behind Blaze's Bocheck and Colt King for best hitter in the CHL and is also apparently a very decent PP weapon." It's nice to know that whatever line is out on the ice that there will almost definitely be someone who can step up and fight if necessary!
Another good signing by the looks of it. Super stoked for this season already.
Too add to the maxi debate running along side this. Personally I think he's been a great player and servant. I get some have got to know him etc and feel more attached. But putting sentiment aside I think he's been on the decline for a while and the BOOM BOOM became much less frequent.

We are going to be an absolute nightmare to play against next year.
Marsh, Lord, Clarkson, Mychan & Hendrikx are all legit heavyweights in this league, then add in some light heavies/middleweights in Hudson and Haddad and we look seriously tough. With the exception of Walton are all big guys and hitters too.
This has to be one of the toughest teams the league has ever seen only the London Racers side of 04/05 is tougher IMO.

I bet there are guys on other teams looking at our roster and really wincing at how physical and tough we look.
I'm sure we'll start getting the 'goon squad' tag from other fans, but when you look at each player it couldn't be further from the truth.
Yes Hendrikx looks like he will drop the gloves if needed, but he's shown he can score good points for a defenceman in the ECHL and you don't do that unless you're talented.
Another very pleasing signing. The only other teams close to finalising their squad are Hull, Nottingham and Coventry and for the first time since I started doing my goal predictions - I've got us to out score them all.
And we've still got two more imports to sign........... :shock:
