The guessing game
- Thread starter Soundwave1
- Start date
Ok it's been a bit quiet here the last couple of days so I'll chuck a wildcard entry in!
With Richardson signing for the panthers to play on defence, some of their fans (and myself) think it's likely that they'll sign an import defenceman and release an import forward, meaning Richardson moves up to forward.
I also don't see how Nottingham are still under the wagecap by signing Richardson, so someone will have to go for that reason alone.
The likely candidate so far seems to be Jade Galbraith, so what would people think of him in a Devils jersey? http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdis ... ?pid=55435
He's had a slow start at notts, but has a very good career record and looks like the kind of player we'd be looking to bring in. He could also thrive with the protection he'd have on our team.
The other bonus is we wouldn't have to wait for him to recieve his visa!
I realise there are alot of ifs involved, but please humour me. :mrgreen:

Galbraith would be an ideal fit imo.
In our away game, the 5-1 loss, galbraith and cook stole the show in a team of tessier and dave clarke.
I would have thought he is in the mould of player that G is looking at and the wage cap dictates that we are not going to sign a superstar. If he is a good dressing room fit then we should snap him up (assuming he is the import gassed of course).
A players weight doesn't always determine a fitness level. Chambers looks overweight, as does Bergin yet fitness isn't a problem for them, so that is something for G to determine as we don't want to carry a player (Hinks).
Very selective memory there Wannabe. Unless i am mistaken and Craighead didn't come from nottingham.

I've been thinking about this all morning and i've decided i would quite like to sign galbraith.
His stats show there is talent in there somewhere and i just think that if Nottingham were to sack him he would be fired up to prove them wrong, im thinking the same sort of syndrome Brett Clouthier showed when he moved from Sheffield to Manchester.
I also think that Galbraith would revel in the space awarded to him by playing wiht Voth, DC, Prpich etc
I dont think we will sign him but i dont think it would be terrible even though he did have a stinker back in the tent a few weeks ago.

Not sure I agree with Gazza
I would argue that every time I saw Clouthier play for Sheffield I thought he looked a really good player, remember the fight he had with Brad after about 3 seconds up at their place?
Galbraith for me has been completely anonymous. I also don't think he is a G type of player, he doesn't play with 100% energy and enthusiasm. I would be disappointed if it was him.
I suspect it will be someone new to the shores.
