Cardiff Devils Confirmed Signings & Departures 2015/16
- Thread starter Skippy
- Start date
Kurka signing would be insane. You could genuinely through a blanket over Devils top 8 forwards being in the league top 20 in scoring. Phenomenal fire power and would lead the league in scoring by a country mile. Whilst not convinced it's Kurka led to believe could well be a player of equal ability.
Believe Devils will be packing enough fire power. They just haven't shown there hand with the defence yet. If the last signings were to be say be Biz, Hotham and one of either Tyson or Hendo with Kurka and Mcgratten I think everyone would go absolutely of the charts excited. Not sure we've a budget for that just yet though. Steve? Now you did say if Todd asked nicely.

Looking at ex-players, what are peoples thoughts on Mac Faulkner? Plays centre, posted excellent points in both seasons he was here and was also captain in his second season. The only downside is he's had a season off to return to uni...
Assuming the lines look something like this:
Lord - Martin - Morissette
Salters - Centre - Doucet
Haddad - Centre - Walton
I would worry that if we were to fill the second line centre slot with someone like Kurka, Salters would have his hands full looking after both him and Doucet throughout the season (although we could add toughness in defence). Another observation is Faulkner adds a little more strength on the puck and a direct forecheck in comparison to the stick handling skill set of Kurka... whether that's a pro or con I'm not so sure.
All i do know is, I'm looking forward to the season ahead and we've only signed 2/3 of the team

Well If culligan don't come back I would be upset!!
Yes he had a injury but doesn't mean we got to drop the guy on his head because of that!
He helped us on d at the beginning of season and done a decent job there!
He then moved up to forward and put up decent points and also got us the winning goal in the cc final.
The guy also scored the best goal I have seen for years at the bbt.
He has bags of potential.
He is worth a second chance for sure as long as he is fit.

I don't think we'd 'drop him on his head'. I just think people have implied that he might not be fit to start the season. If he potentially out for a while then the club shouldn't sign him. It's not unfair, it's just the cold nature of professional sport. I'm sure the club have supported Cully regardless if they wanted him back or not.
