- Thread starter Gazza272
- Start date
Personally, i hope its not Spiller. Just seen his fights, his record & he hasnt got a big win percentage and in this league he will get slammed for penalties, especially with Hicks! Seems to fight for no valid reason which isnt going to be good for the team. Personally, from looking at the fights he's a bit of a powder puff fighter anyway.
I would prefer a guy who can play and fight a little over someone who wins his fights but isn't such a good player. Personally I think we need a big guy who can hit and clear people out of the way more than someone who will win fights (obviously if he could do it all that would be best).
Going by the hype of having the most NHL games of any player in the league you would like to think he would be a decent player, lets just hope he isn't over the hill.

:shock:
Our fans are almost in unison that we need some experience and a physical presence in our defence. But you don't want us to sign a 6 foot 5 guy who has played almost his whole career in the NHL and AHL???????
So far this season the EIHL hasn't turned into the goon league we had feared. How many fights did Sawyer actually have whilst here?
Spiller would be an incredible signing for us. A big physical defenceman who can play but will fight when needed.

Id be very happy with an experience player but one thats not going to be in the bin for stupid penalties. BV gets enough of that already and having 2 players of the same nature would be bad for the team.
If it is Spiller ive no doubt he would hold his own in the league but the video's of him fighting just show him dropping the gloves for no reason and taking nonesense penalties, anybody could do that no matter whether they are 6'5" of 5'8".
If it turns out to be Spiller and im proven wrong then i will be the first to say so!
