Agreed, he looked decent when given ice time at EPL level. The other possible returnee who hasn't been mentioned is Maxi.....it has gone quiet over his signing....
For Adam's sake I hope he doesn't come back unless there are injuries. He is a decent player but with the import limit change he is even further down the pecking order, he will only waste his development by being stuck on the bench.
Whilst we have some exciting signings we need to look at other teams before we get carried away. We have players with a few appearances in the AHL. Panthers AHL count is in the hundreds. Hopefully hunger and youth will win through but this league isn't going to be easy. G and Franny got us to second place with a similar team so hopefully we can do it again but I think a title is unlikely. Sorry if that's negative but I have been here before pre season.
I don't see anybody even mentioning a title? I'm pretty sure after the start of the summer we had most fans would be delighted to see this team just be competitive every game and a run at CC isn't out of the question. You are right our conference is stupidly strong but the roster so far already looks an upgrade on last year so it's inevitable people will be excited.
