This is a recent transaction on elite prospects I bet we’ve signed this guy as our first line centre, ageing bottom 6 Centre that will bamboozle the masses with the NHL/AHL appearances, I can just see it our type of signing lol.

He looks very much like Ciampini.

2 years ago 2nd top scorer on the team and 2nd best +/-, but last season dropped away badly and near the bottom of +/-.........Welcome to Sheffield Landon. :Smiled:

To be fair somebody like him would be a decent pick up if we could keep the cost down by using a Uni place.

Be a good signing Doom for the third line/second at a push, but we’d sign him in the wrong capacity he’d be signed as our go to forward for goals but nowhere in his stats is he a goal scorer/player maker capable of 30 goals in our league

I've been doing a very quick high level prediction of players scoring for Nottingham, Sheffield, Belfast and Cardiff, just to get a feel on where everybody stands.

If we were to sign this guy, I really couldn't go any higher than 15 or maybe 20 based on recent seasons.

To date I've only got Neumann down for 25 goals, the rest of the import forwards are 15 or 20. You could make a case for Vallerand being more and I suspect Fox will have him down for 25+, but I can't ignore last season and the fact he'll be another year past his peak (I've viewed Neumann the other way - coming up to his peak).

And where do we match up so far Doom? As Belfast seem to have signed a lot of players who look like they will score a bunch if EP is anything to go by.

Third or second line for a player straight from the DEL who also has a nearly a full season of NHL games?

0.6ppg in DEL and 0.5ppg in AHL and he's only 31.

I disagree entirely. He could easily be one of the top players in the league if he came here and played like he actually wanted to be here. Although Id be surprised if he has signed in the league.

He’s not a goal scoring forward, he’s a role playing bottom 6 in higher leagues, nowhere in his stats as he been a top line centre even at junior level, look at his stint in DEL2 5 assists in 9 games far from top line quality in a league the same quality
Just some players we have had with similar stats recently before joining us.

I’d expect a similar output from this guy just my opinion of course we all have them.

It's a bit too early to say at the moment, because we have so few signed up.

Belfast look to have a lot of goal scoring depth, I've got all their import forwards down for 20 minimum and Tedesco at 30.

If we want to be close to that we'll need a couple of new players capable of 25 goals minimum.

I personally think Belfast have the best netminder in the league, although I'm happy with Greenfield in our goal.

I don't think Belfast look quite as strong at the back end this season. The two imports they've retained probably weren't in their top 3 last season and the new guys look decent, but don't have great +/-.

Difficult to say how we compare until we see a few more names.

As per Dave Simms on Twitter, we have 3 forwards left to sign, so suggests 3 more D are signed. Petgrave and Saucerman I think are definites. Hope Nevalainen is the 3rd.

So 2 more forwards signed. Allen maybe one of those, but not sure. No idea on the other. I know there's been a few rumours but nothing else from the usually very reliable Twitter rumour accounts.

Got to think one is Saucerman, as been rumoured for a while. Who knows on the other, maybe Scott Allen or Matt Petgrave?
