If that’s the case, I hope Bowns doesn’t suffer a repeat of the same injury woes that occurred at the start of his Euro career. I was critical of the work load Bowns had at the Devils, would an older version be able to continue that role or will they share with a decent backup. I’m not so sure, I’d have kept the powerhouse Carruth was, built a cage in the corner of the changing room. If we don’t improve our defence, scoring potential then any netminder not up to Carruth standard is going to make for a tough year.
