Not sure if there's any truth but Iv heard B Pitton was keen on a return this season, with Regan not returning next, that may be a possibility. Dual passport also. I don't think I could handle the excitement of a Pitton re-signing, that would be too good

Any chance you can quote any line, from any post, from any poster who's actually said that? The truth is, nobody has said that. Even Bobby's supporters know fine well he has deficiencies in his game. The coaches know the deficiencies as well and it's up to them if they think they can get the best out of his positive attributes to make it worthwhile bringing him back. There is no shame in players needing others around them that suit their game. Would Derek Keller have been allowed to show his talents without Jeff Caister being there to shore up any gaps Derek left when he was rushing up the ice for instance? Hockey requires all different styles and players of different types. I disagree that Bobby is particularly lazy- I actually think that people who keep stating this are giving a lazy argument **i notice that you say on another thread that Bobby gets goals 'thanks to everyone else'..... You can't have it both ways! Not saying anybody said that word for word but that was the conclusion I came to reading the posts. If he does return next season I will look for his positive attributes, unless you can enlighten me. ? This is nothing personal against him.Just feel that after a disappointing season we need a stronger,attacking forward for next season. Ok so you can't see his positive attributes? That probably sums up what I was saying about the whole Bobby debate - to too many it's just black and white. Some people decided even before he got here he was lazy because Clan fans said so!! Not sure I would personally trust the Purple Army for a view on the finer points of the game but each to their own!! I think it's actually personal against him as you don't seem prepared to single out other supposed 'under achievers' and you aren't able to respond sensibly to most of points raised in his defence. Your 'conclusion' seems agenda driven as nobody has said what you're seeing! Go on to Elite Prospects and the boy has had a stellar record every year he's played pro over a number of years. If you don't want to acknowledge that he must have something to offer then that's entirely up to you. It's rarely down to luck that a player can churn out numbers season after season. Is he right for Flyers or the current squad? Maybe not, but that does not mean he's a bad player.

Any truth in the Lukacevic to Clan rumour? Is that the rumour that started this time last summer or a new one lol. Clan have solid forwards their problem was the D one key guy injured and two getting suspentions was their issue. I would think if they were after someone from Fife it would be more likely to be Haines.

Is he right for Flyers or the current squad? Maybe not, but that does not mean he's a bad player. I am only saying what Clan fans said when he left.Thought he was great the first season but compared with some other players iv'e been disappointed with his contribution (not scoring wise) .I think he would get a lot more points with more effort. If you think this is personal then that's up to you. As for under achievers- Fulton, nothing like the player he was the first season. Ned, brilliant player,scores great goals,helps his team mates but blows hot and cold.(maybe he needs new team mates). Regan, by his own admission hasn't played his best last season

I hope there is no truth to it but it's one I wouldn't just dismiss.

Most of the imports in the country have mates or former team mates on pretty much every team. Look at last summer and stories of mates and connections to Mac Faulkner from Cardiff coming to Fife.

Ned would be unreal on that Clan team. Playing proper 'systems' and with team mates that would have his back

Ned has signed for BRAEHEAD. Is there any real substance to this rumour? Absolutely I'm afraid. Done deal. I don't know how I feel about it to be honest. I'm gobsmacked flyers have let him go, especially to the clan. But on the other hand if he keeps doing the party animal **** like he's done here then he might have the same inconsistent season like this year. Clan will bring the best out of ned probably.
