Luke Adam - “somewhat lacking in speed and aggression” so yes it’s likely to our signing
I'd not take that as necessarily accurate, players lacking in speed and aggression don't tend to play many NHL/AHL games, and if they do they have other attributes to compensate, as with all signings, let's see how they play before passing judgement.

So the latest social media from the club says just 1 more spot to fill these players have been announced to unknown clubs in the past few days

Rok Ticar

Luke Adam

They would certainly fit our recruitment specs of ageing European league not many options left, if these two prove to be announced.

I see a good pass first centre and a decent player in the mould of Scott Allen, what I don’t see is two players going to get us 25 plus goals each that we need.
They both look decent players, but it would be yet more ageing players signed from Euro Leagues, whereas Belfast seem to sign younger players from all over.

Based on last season alone I'd probably have Adams down for 25+ goals, but I just hope we're not going to continue following the same old tired formula.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I'd definitely take Luke Adam looking at his stats and the fact he's played that long in the DEL. Was scoring at a point per game a couple of seasons ago so no doubt he's a good hockey player. He's also only 32 so whilst older, he's not at a point where I'd expect rapid decline.

A 33 & 34 year old.

Yep, we're getting younger aren't we.

You want a decent wage before you retire just join the Steelers.

I caught on to that.

No other signed player is listed as a Fin, so I wonder if we've agreed a deal with a Finnish forward.

Anyone been having a look on EP trying to work out who the other Fin is? Any ideas? I’m guessing it’s a F but maybe the 2nd import Nettie?
