I suppose he will be 35 at the start of next season so he might pack it in over the summer. Who would you want back if the choice was between Register and Jardine? Hypothetically speaking as I can’t see Jardine back in the EIHL next season. I’d choose Jardine to be honest. Especially if Fournier returned.
That's an interesting one!
Register for me. He plays those high percentage passes, but only because he's capable of them. I don't feel that Jardine has the same level of hockey IQ.
I also don't think Fournier has the IQ of Register (who's IQ is not far off Hotham for me) - but Fournier has the NHL-standard skating ability that got him out of so many awkward situations. He has the better shot too, which makes him the better player.
Of the 4 mentioned there my order would be:
Hotham
Fournier
Register
Jardine
All subjective of course.
