Matt is a good forward who has accomplished a great deal even though he is still relatively young. He has been a big part of our achievements in the past couple of seasons and it is no surprise that there is a lot of competition for his service.(from Guilford Coach)
Its obvious there were no Brits of the same standard as Dowd so replacing him was always going to be hard, seems like we've gone for Phillips and Towe 2:1
If Murphy,Garside and Hutchinson re-sign I think we have a strong or maybe stronger pack of brit players than last year

Good luck to Matt at Belfast. He is a fast skater who has produced in key games before - should fit in well with their style.
I am hoping that the fact that he has signed might just indicate that the Giants have not (yet) managed to attract another British Elite League player to their club? :?
Of course, neither Phil or Mathew Myers have been announced as confirmed signings by their current teams yet. :?
As for EPL players G was in discussions with, let's hope it's Aaron Nell, Alex Symonds or Joe Miller. Would hate to think the Devils were persuing Towe....and lost out. :shock:

Wasn't Matt confirmed as signed with the Panties the other day. He's on year 2 of a contract.

Now I'm intrigued to know which EPL player the Devils are in discussion with! 3 out of 3 out of 5 possibilities have already signed for other teams - Towe, Greener, Miller.
Perhaps the Devils are talking to Alex Symmonds or Aaron Nell. Hope so - would be good additions to our roster. Can they be persuaded away from EPL?

I just don't get it with Towe, I just cannot see what all the fuss is about. When Matt Towe played for the Devils he was a very average Brit player at best. There seemed to be plenty of effort but no real end product, no matter what he did, you knew he would never score and I think he was very fortunate the amount of time that Gerad afforded him before finally releasing him.
As a Devil, he scored something like 20pts a season for us for about 3 seasons I believe. That's hardly prolific and indeed to my eyes he was very disappointing. If he had re-signed for the Devils(hardly), then I would have been so disappointed. He had his chance and he didn't take it, he's one of those players that skates around the ice but without any end product, a sort of Robert Millette if you will.
Now he has signed for Belfast and the theme of this thread is seemingly that he is a very good Brit and that we missed out on him. I just don't get it!
Quite frankly I am delighted that Belfast have signed him, as he definitely represents a come down from their standards to my mind.
He is a very average player at Elite level and I would rate him just a little bit higher than Joe Myers in terms of what they can offer and I think a traffic cone would have a better career save % than Myers.

Congrats on a pretty nasty post mate, firstly Towey was with us a few seasons ago as a young lad, and has probably improved as most young people do, and to compare him to the worst player we ever signed in downright rude. Secondly your opinions on Joe is unbelievable and again rude to the extreem, Joe has a very difficult job not getting much ice time, and then expecting to be top dog.
