Can’t say I’m impressed with this signing ,it is what it is,an extra body! His last two seasons have been dire the alps league is lesser quality than our own. I reiterate what doom says we need a goal scorer to replace cons and Deluca.

Fox must use Snow White as an agent based on some of the players we sign

Are we going for a record number of nationalities this year?
Brits,Americans,Canadians, Czech, Italians, Finns, Danes, Swedes, Slovenian.

Not particularly excited by this one, is a Dundee reject really the solution to our problem? He's a 4th liner at best, rather see Graham get a regular shift on the 3rd line.

I'd rather see him play before I make an opinion.

As it should be, I dont have any negative opinion of his playing standard at all, only to state I would have prefered a 6ft+ brick outhouse defender at first glance..

Totally agree there. Wanted a big D man or maybe even a big power forward. But we got a 5foot 7” agitator.

Nothing wrong with an agitator. Our issue which is very apparent under Fox is that we don’t have a tough guy to back them up. I was hoping Ellerby would fill that role, but I’ve not seen anything like that from him.

Think the days of Vial, Allison, Fitzy are long gone, our fighter this season appears to be Dowd!

Each to there own but I love a Colt King type player but would appear that the EIHL seems to be pulling away from that.

Yes those days have gone unfortunately.

However, I would still be happy with Mark Louis or Springer type player.

We don't even have that. I was hoping Ellerby would fill that type of role, but so far doesn't appear to be.

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/1 ... tt-mistele Take this lad as a replacement for Deluca.
Not sure what your day job is but you may become a part-time scout. He would be an excellent addition. Scored at most levels. Very good in Junior hockey which is a decent gauge for European hockey.
