We loose O'connor. Guildford my guess. Attacking D man great as a D man not so much. So Vallerand
Connolly
Deluca
That line will do me.
Eberle
And hopefully Herr instead of O'connor now that's a upgrade for me.

As for 7 signings great but it will be one per day by my reckoning.

There's no reason Herr would be instead of O'Connor. They play different positions completely.

with such a big announcement/call re Ben leaving, I suspect even more so that tomorrow will be a huge new signing.
I dont get all the hype if its just a Vally, or Eberle, or Deluca re-signing. That to me would be anticlimactic- not that i dont want all three of these guys back.

Herr is certainly an upgrade on O'connor. Didn't say anything about position.

Exactly Eric, Ben O'connor was on a very good wage by all accounts and really, as good as he was at times, I believe he wasn't worth the price of a top draw import... To replace Ben in his role with an import would in my opinion not be too hard.
He is a top top Brit but sometimes you end up building a team around your highest earners and in every team there comes a time when you realise that your top earners are not who they once were and you dont want to build a team around them any more...

Fox may be using his budget very wisely if that proves to be the case.. :thumbs:

Personally I would be building a team from the back around a top draw Goalie... :thumbs:
and you need mega funds for that to play out how we would want...

That's what I thought.

I sometimes think our club just don't understand what makes the supporters tick. Obviously those announced are more than welcome, but this is the sort of announcement I'd expect to be made with no fanfare. Just wake up one morning and see a statement that the players on multi year deals will be back.

Let's see what 10am brings....

Regards
