It's not the quality of the forwards, the additions look very good players. It's the balance of the forwards that I personally have concerns with. But we shall wait and see.

With one more signing, that already gives us 2 spares. One is probably Sacratini to start, and the other if reports are true will be Helgeson until he's back fit. What makes you think there are two more? I can't see us starting the season with 3 players on the gantry. Surely will only be one...

He has signed a full time AHL contract for this coming season. Great stuff, well deserved.

Whether you wanted Cole to stay or go, the reality is that he has been in top 2 in scoring all the years he's been here. And for those who think he's been on the decline, last year he was our top point per game player, same league points as Joey Martin but Cole played 6 less games. The two new...

Likely to be Perlini or Sanford, could be Ferguson going back, could be Brandt. Could even be someone like Lacroix.

What if it's Sanford and Kontos that are returning. MacDonald - Martin - Caron Kontos- Yaremko - Sanford Barrow - Mieho - Oli I would say that's more strength in depth in scoring than last year, and also more size too. Also have Mosey to jump in. I would have been happy to have Riley come...

Just noticed in the press release that Thommo wants Mieho as a center, which I missed yesterday. Martin as another of course, and the last could be any of Yaremko, Oli, Kontos or new.

Would we be underwhelmed if it was 3 returnees? After all, we'd get our top goal scorer and top assist/points from a good year back. 2nd and 3rd in the league respectively. And a fan favourite. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't? We could go for someone completely new with a...

Maybe we shouldn't rule out that neither MacDonald or Kontos aren't returning, and we will have two new forwards?

You're probably right. But it's a shame as his offensive game is his main strength, and he'll have limited opportunities to show it on the 4th. I also think he will benefit from playing with more offensive players on the 3rd. But if Brandt is back, he did his time on the 4th for years before...

With Mieho and Caron as new additions, both power forwards, we can assume that Lacroix, Ferguson and probably Caponi won't be back. Sanford rumours about not coming back seem to be strong too. I think Brandt will be. I also think there will be one more new player, probably the one Steve King...

Also stunned but delighted that Mieho has joined. Over 300 Liiga games. Liiga is a more physical league than most so that side of the game won't be a problem, but you also need to skate incredibly well too. He wore the A for 3 years, and having 3 20 point seasons from probably the 3rd line is an...

Chase Gresock announced as not going back to his side in France. Proved himself in this league with 32 goals for Coventry. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/272543/chase-gresock

I wonder if one of the remaining signings will be an European. He always had at least a couple on the books in Sheffield, including on the bench as an assistant. We have a Swede as an assistant now, and he won in Denmark. He obviously respects and appreciates their style of play very much, was...

I think some might be underestimating this guy. For me he's a top 6 winger. Won't be the top scorer on the line, but I can see him playing the Andrew Lord role with Martin and Morrisette, but this time Martin and MacDonald. Looks to be a great skater, wins the puck in the corner, net front...

Can't see how it would be a backward step. He's the type of player that would fit Guildford's style perfectly, and he could have regular 2nd line minutes. We'll never know about the money aspect but that could be a factor for him also. If all those things are on the table then it would be a good...

Wouldn't replace him with any of our current D at the moment, but would love to have him back in the future at some point. Those are unbelievable numbers. I suspect he will have plenty of options of where to go next season.

I'll throw some names out there; https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/201696/brett-stapley - https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/201925/carter-savoie Both would be great additions, and plenty of connections from University of Denver...

Every year we dream of a completely new first line and everyone getting bumped down. It never happens though, and after a successful year I don't think it will happen this time. We never know personal reasons that players might want to relocate or retire, but from a hockey perspective I think...

This thread has been quiet compared to previous years hasn't it. Probably because we're expecting a lot less changes than previous years. It's likely that there's no more new faces on D, with either all 3, or 1 out of Estes and Helgeson returning. Think we would have heard something by now if...
