Not a fighter by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly not afraid to if the circumstances dictate..

I think you could say, not afraid to give his opinions either... :thumbs:
I think that’s the ideal though, not a guy like who’s spoiling for a fight and looking for trouble but will be happy to get involved physically if trouble comes his way.

I completely agree, but just hoping the refs and Dops see it that way, if the first decent hit he throws gets called then he is likely to hold back and looking at his undoubted talent for delivering a hit we want to see plenty... E:p

Based on the interview with Fox, it sounds like we're done with our forwards and Mosey will be playing as a forward unless there are injuries.

So what are our likely forward lines?

I'll go with us starting something like:

DeLuca/Connolly/Vally
Dowd/Hodgman/Eberle
Armstrong/Oleksuk/Latal
Phillips/Double Shift/Mosey

That doesn't look too shabby to me.

Regards

Other than the 1st Line, that looks much stronger defensively than previous Fox rosters.

This based on inside knowledge or just a punt? Would be quite pleased if so and particularly if the 3rd and final D man was also of good size along with Ellerby

I thought he was outstanding for Nottingham a few seasons ago, but is he still at that level?

If he is I think this would be a very good signing.

I really hope it is Sauve, he’s still listed on prospects has going to unknown, Ellerby said he may of played with one of our remaining signings which he did with Sauve in the AHL thought he was outstanding for Nottingham a few seasons back. 🤞
