Signings for 2021/22 season

[jenks33]

So if it is a maximum of 14 imports with a limit of 19 players on the bench on a match night (and we do sign O’Connor) do we think we will still sign 14 imports and sit a player out every game?

I think we will yes... With 14 Imports and 6 Brits we can play 4 Lines in CHL and it also means we will rest an Import or a Brit during the EIHL Season if someone is struggling with fitness/form.

I agreed with you on that. I said he will certainly be given more of an opportunity than Murdy was given. Carruth will start at least 75% of games in all competitions tho in my opinion.

I don’t think is will be quite as much of a one sided split as that. His USports stats are exceptional, and if you understand the circumstances of his ECHL roles his stats make sense. I’d see it 60/40 in terms of games shared at the most.

I think that a couple of things to bear in mind are; his obvious mental resilience in going through what he did in the echl, and the fact that we have probably had a certain amount of first hand scouting of him.

Given the odd timing of this, do we think there's more news on the way?

Roughly how many competitive games do we play in a season? Is it about 65? Genuinely don’t see him starting more than 17 to 20 games. We’ll wait and see though. Happy to be proved spectacularly wrong on that.

Maybe a signing thurs and friday, as its getting close to our jolly abroad for pre season.

Can you see Haddad coming back? I still think he will be back and if the rumours are to be believed then Ben O’Connor and Brodie Reid will also be Devils next season. What does that leave then? Another centre? I think we still look a player light in that position

Goalies:
Dai Sport has the story!

I’ve heard that Haddad will not be returning due to non hockey related issues!

 

[Martynwo]

Peacock just announced as not returning for the Clan, wonder where he is off to ?

Nice to see Dai Sport spell the new goalies name incorrectly throughout the whole article…

Interesting. Reckon he’s calling it a day and moving back to Nova Scotia?
If Haddad isn’t returning then I’ll bring up a name that I mentioned the other day - Jerry Pollastrone. Left winger that previously played for Dundee but spent the last 6 years in the EBEL. Confirmed in June that he won’t be returning to Villacher.
Devil94 made a good point the other day. For some reason Trevor Cox is 63 for us but has always been number 36. Does that mean we’ve signed another player that wears 36? What is Pollastrone’s preferred number - Number 36.

There's an interesting comment on Twitter from Mr king about our new goalie having scored a goal in university. Good puck handling skills are something that the goalies we see here differing lack. This could be fun, and make for a fast transition game.

 

[GAVIN]

Just saying he may not be back as advertised with swamp rabbits

 

[moggy#9]

This is not a guy who is coming here to ride the pines. A well taken goal too.

 

[terry hunt]

Looks like Blaze have got another of their good guys back.
Wagstaffe must be chuffed with the signings so far

 

[terry hunt]

If Haddad is not coming my OH has said she will take his dog off his hands.
