Salters joins Devils

[Finny]

Salters is the closest thing to Mike MacWilliam, since Mike MacWilliam.

Voth was tough but Salters is among the top 3 in the league for toughness. He is terrifying to play against but takes very little PIMs.

Is he really that tough?
I noticed him more for his goal scoring last year, but then when you have Fitzgerald and Frank on your team you're not going to have much need to play the tough guy role.

 

[Centreice]

He sure is very tough!!

 

[Finny]

But is he MacWilliam tough?
As I still class MacWilliam as the toughest guy to ever play over here.

 

[wildthing74]

Would never class him or anybody that's played here since in the MacWilliam category

 

[Centreice]

No not as tough as Mike but tougher than Keefe deeds Hendrix voth Olson frank plumton etc so that's good enough for me.

 

[ASHIPP]

Incredible. Is this real? When was the last time calibre players from other UK clubs wanted to join ours?

Salters is the real deal as a power forward. The closest to replacing the Vother's role since Brad's retirement. Leigh will be an instant fan favorite.

Have to agree, MacWilliam was the toughest player ever to play in this league. However Paxton Schulte was quite a customer but no MacWilliam.

So the way I'm looking at this, last year the Devils had 6 players in the top 25 in league scoring. If all of them come back, we've also just added two other top 25 scorers (pro-rating Doucet's totals for a whole season). So 8 of the top 25 scorers on one team??? That can't be a bad thing.

Lordo is outdoing himself and its only the middle of May!

With my beloved Flames getting eliminated last night, it's officially Devils season again and I can't believe how excited I am for the season to start.

Have you let the cat out of the bag Steve? :lol:
Does that mean we have Walton, Mo, Haddad and Hotham signed up? :RAWK
Happy Days!

Sounds to me like it's in Lordo, Franny & TK's hands! I'd take those 4 back though with a sprinkling of Bowns, Batch & Richardson... Maybe Lachowicz too?

Will be interesting to see if we get a new brit in such as Lacho, if we manage to re sign all of our remaining Brits from last year. Especially as the money saved from Myers has released funds for very high quality imports so far.
If we do keep them, then it would probably be 4 import D's and 8 import forwards. If we kept Myers it would be easy to play the top 3 lines with him, but are we going to put Piggott or most likely CJ in there, or have a top level Brit and play the 3 solid lines with CJ and Piggott to bac up.

This might be the longest off season ever.

Great signing hope Jesse comes back

 

[FOD DEVIL]

Hope we keep all d-ma from last year I do think Tyson will come back or hope so lol

I would imagine that if we sign Bowns, Batch and Richardson then we will go with 4 import D and 9 import F.

Piggott and Jones will be 10th/11th forwards.

Looks like the opportunity of doing an MBA in Cardiff was key in Leigh's decision to move - can't blame him for that. :-( http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/oth ... .125764505

I love this part of their quote "Leigh was offered an MBA as part of his deal in Cardiff, which is something we can only provide at under-graduate level"
Perhaps they should get the SNP working for them :lol:

Glasgow/ Cardiff. Glasgow/ Cardiff. Tough call.

Totally agree with this. You only run four lines if you have a quality fourth line, not one made for its sake. I will go with three solid import lines! Don'tDon't need to replace Myers with another Brit.

Yes apologies, still thought it was 12 imports. In that case, no real need for another Brit.

 

[Devil94]

Do you think Lord will go for another tough guy? With Salters's numbers we will want him on the ice as much as possible.

 

[jimmy snels]

I think he might re sign clarkson for additional toughness, as well as a mean dman.
