Booth and Devils part ways.

- Start date
A couple of the posts early in this thread are starting to look a bit stupid now…….
Trying not to get too excited after the disappointment of Booth, but his stats at NCAA are very impressive and he had some of the best stats in the ECHL last year out of the netminders who played half the games or more.
AHL stats aren’t great but if they were then he wouldn’t be heading here at such a young age. Fingers crossed Lordo is sending us a good one.

If we did try that with BOOTH then unfortunately it didn't work. We do however need to source a NM that is here for the long run that we can turn to with trust when needed but also know they are here to progress their game to the highest level possible. So basically they are good enough to jump in net when required but have the aspiration and desire to improve to move into higher leagues. If they want to be noticed they will put in the graft and it will benifit both club and player.

Looking at that doesn't do much to be honest, well, at least this early on anyway. But Greenfield seems to be the one of the group there that is surpassing what a lot thought he would.

In all fairness if you look at his Stats back when he did that they are very similar to what they read today and over recent years, however, I do agree with the father time side of things and he won't be able to play as many games as he did back then as consistent as it was back then. But, hopefully, if used wisely and with another NM who can take some or half of the load then his stats will again remain the same. If it isn't shared then I do think his stats will drop and his age will show through the fatigue of playing to many games.
The only other problem I see is it is widely "speculated" that Bowns likes to be considered the starting NM in every game and if true he needs to be told that this will no longer be the case if the club wants to play the two NM sharing system but this needs to be done without affecting him mentally which could effect his game. And that is why it is easy to coach from an arm chair but a lot harder when you have to make decisions, or speak, in a certain way to a player that could have an affect on the way they mentally process things which could have a knock on effect on their overall game.

Hopefully this will be the Brick that we needed to complete the build. Could be a Gem of a signing and if anyone knows the league and what would be a good addition to the Devils I think in Lord we trust.
On a side note..... Hasn't there been another WALL as a Nettie in this league before?!? Seem to recall something and the mask was simular.
Also......who was the last to wear No1 for the Cardiff Devils. Was it JPG or someone way back when?
