One classy tough heayweight would fit the bill perfectly, forward or D Man, we dont like to get pushed about in Cardiff. Didio can sort the lightheavies, Marsh can play tough when required, and G aint no pussy, but a good talented heavy would be embraced in Cardiff in my views that is. We have the talent that will hopefully get more consistent, but a new guy could just light the fuse and get us going like we witnessed against the Steelers awhile ago.
Devils Realease Milam

I know i'm possibly living in dreamworld but there's a fair few Free Agent AHL'ers that have good stats and reputation. They may well be unfit or too old but surely the likes of some of these could still do a really good job in the EIHL:

Just throwing it out there... Any one got any wild suggestions as to who the New Signing could be if it's not someone we already know from time in the EIHL?

I rarely comment publically on players in a negative manner as I've never played the game. However, Jamie Milam has been shocking and has in my opinion contributed nothing to the team. Very happy G and Franny have taken immediate action haven given him a more than fair chance.
I struggle to think of a more disappointing import since I started watching the Devils in 2003.

The right call for both parties. Milam came with a lot of hype and did not deliver. Unfit, poor defensive decisions and lack on enthusiasm. I wish him well where ever he ends up but I’m pleased G has finally made this decision.
With regard to the next signing, I’m torn. Somehow we don’t appear to be competing physically up front with other team which is strange in some respects because on paper we don’t look weak but clearly we are more talk than action. Teams have also strengthened physically.
That said, where we look dicey so far this season is in defence. There is an argument Milam played his part in that but I fear we won’t be protecting our goal well enough if we sign a forward.
A Weller type player (hard, skilful and helps clear the crease) would be a nice fix. I know we’ll never get Weller back but his style is probably what we need.

Indeed if thats true then fair play to everyone, on paper we look as good as most, and have shown on occassions that we can compete with whoever. Would love to see the Devils come out banging from the beginning, as thats when we seem to play at our best. Tough ask tonight as not many will win up there, but we have experienced that already. Hope we get a really good fit, for club,and fans alike, would be great to kickstart our season fingers crossed when we play to our potential we do look good. So come on guys you are good enough lets kick some butt.
