Seems like young goalie Harry Thomas has signed on a 2 way with Bristol. I hope we don't see too much of him on the bench this year as he should be playing games with Bristol, but one for the future as he develops under Bownsy and Euan King.

The talk of being 'improved under Thommo' shouldn't be talked about as if it's a guarantee. He has history recruiting some rubbish rosters in Sheffield. If he hasn't got the right players on the ice then it doesn't matter how good a coach he is. I really hope Brandt isn't one of the 3...

Welcome back Jenks. Have missed your input this off season. Good spot with Yaremko. He certainly looks like he fits in with what Thommo has been saying, on the younger side, bigger body. Apart from last year, looks to have put up some decent numbers, and plays a physical game too by the looks...

A pair of Perlini's not happening this year as Brendan signs in Switzerland.

In the video it's mentioned that Lacroix is a good face off guy. That might put him at 3rd line centre, a direct replacement for Busch. Mentioned for Caponi also so that puts him as 4C as expected. Olischefski played mostly center last year and with Joey as well I think that sorts the centermen...

Think he will quickly become a fan favourite, and the opposite for fans of 9 other clubs. His first pro season, would love for it to go well for him and have him stay with us well in to the future.

He's never been a fighter, can't remember him ever being sold as that either. You might have seen some old clips of him fighting, but 10 years ago that's what players like him had to do to either stay or get called up to the NHL. Same goes for Strachan and Mikkelson, they had plenty of fights in...

MacWilliam was very solid for us last year, I would be happy if he came back. Don't think he is though. He was strong and tough, threw some huge hits. He didn't fight but that's not an issue, it's just not what he does, still played a heavy physical game. If we assume Kay is a spare or on...

I'm gonna say Caponi, Stoever and Perlini as 3 of the 4. 4th could be Lacroix, or Duke, Brandt, ZOB or even possibly Shinkaruk.

The third option of course, like with any other player is that management think we can upgrade. Although he is a fan favourite, let's be honest he is very replaceable. If Caponi signs, and I'm sure that he will, it could be that management think they have found a very similar player who is...

One aspect I would like to see in the remaining signings is younger players. The average age for the roster so far is 30.5. That's the same as last season, and we were the oldest roster in the league.

Why are you concerned about his loyalty to Kaufbeuren? He's loyal to us, that's all that should matter.

McDonald - ? - ? Perlini - Martin - Sanford ?(Maybe Lacroix) - Oli - Barrow Duggan - Caponi - Davies If Brandt does sign then I'm not too sure where he fits in. Him and Caponi look pretty identical players, and wouldn't want any of that 4th line up to the 3rd ideally. The fourth line looks good...

No mention of a 2 way in that article so looks to be full time. It's a big jump for him, hopefully it all works out well for him and us and that he's a big part of our future. Our 3rd D pairing will have a 20 years age difference.

Where do you get the idea that Stoever is weak? He was 2nd in save percentage in the whole NCAA last year. To put that in perspective, 17 NCAA goalies from last year are signed to NHL contracts.
