caps sign 6 foot 200lbs forward luke judson emmo saying he brings everything to the ice, speed , size toughness, leadership, and a touch round the net Everything apart from goals and assists, can't see this other than it's a what we can afford signing That's a bit harsh (and I'm guessing here) considering you have never seen the guy on the ice. He was an OHL captain for 3 years with the Belleville Bulls. That alone would make me think the guy can play to a good standard. Yeah his ECHL numbers don't jump out at you but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if he turned out to be a very good signing for the Caps. In his last year with the Bulls one of his teammates was Jordan Mayer who played at Hull last season. Mayer put up 53 pts in 55 games. Judson had similar stats in the OHL to Mayer. If he produces something along those lines for the Caps they will be very happy, that would be second top in Caps scoring last year. Emmo himself had shocking numbers from the ECHL considering what his role was. He put up 32 pts for the Caps. Emmo's signings so far have been pretty good at least on paper.

From a few years back and looks like he takes a punch well but not a bad looking player.

Agree to disagree then, if he signed for the flyers I would say give him a chance you never know, but in all honesty I would look for better, I think Emo is putting together a younger more energetic hungry team with players coming to impress hopefully on the start to a career in Europe, it could work well or it could fall flat on its face, I like the idea of seeing a Caps team who are a bit different from the boring team of last few years and a lot of new players round the league.

I like the way Emmo is handling business. Much better that what we're doing at the minute. This guy is a power forward, something the flyers have lacked for two seasons. I would be happy if he came here.

I sometimes stick up for the club,but have to say Craig Moore signing for Stars has alarm bells going off in my head. I know for sure that he wanted to come back to the UK and continue his further education and was talking to 'a few clubs' but surely Flyers should have been in pole position and it's a massive chance missed? Even with a full quota and this guy we'd be improving ourselves considerably? Can't see it would have broken the bank either and it's supposedly the owners mission to have Fifers playing for Flyers! If we'd lost out to a southern team or even Braehead I might have understood but a team with a 3rd of our support? Stars have re-signed Dolan and will most likely have a full quota of imports- I doubt Moore will have a bigger role there than in Fife if he'd come here so what is the problem? I don't ever want to criticising our local boys but Todd has 3 or 4 of them that he clearly doesn't trust to put out on the ice. If we end up signing these lads again for a FIFTH year (and none of them are youngsters) we're really not progressing. Hope I'm wrong and there's something up our sleeves but I just don't see any other available Brits out there that can come in and improve us. If we also go with less than a full quota then we're in serious trouble. And to rub salt in the wound, Renny Marr joins Coventry... www.coventryblaze.co.uk/index.php/news/latest-news/1535-gb-under-18s-goalie-joins-blaze

Just heard this... Wtf is going on at the Flyers??? It's shaping up to be an awesome season.......... On the plus side, it's a local guy that's going to get developed at a good club. Fair play to Marr.

Well played Fife, obviously only keen on keeping the locals that will play part time for pennies

Over the past 4 seasons we have all watched our local guys struggle beyond belief in the EIHL. They start to find their feet and we should then be looking at our talent coming up through our junior system and bring them on as they will be the key to our success long term. We are going to end up in the same spot in a few years our current guys will quit/retire and we will have nobody ready to take over.
One of our best prospects has just walked out the door to a club we should be competing against/with. Congrats to Renny but seriously what the hell is going on with the Flyers. Bet I can guess, "sign for us and we will give you some pocket money" versus "sign here for a decent wage and we will develop you to maximise your potential" not really much of a choice is it.

Flyers will not sign anyother brits. As normal it will be the same as last few years. Will never get rid of the"pals" And people wonder why Junior Development don't have a lot to do with the Flyers. On the other hand. Good luck Renny, not that you will need it.

Tyler Plews will be snapped up by another team soon I suspect

Its not that the Flyers will not sign any other Brits, it comes down to the stubborness of Tom Muir to flatly allow any full time Brits on the team and that is purely a money saving exercise.Muir just does not want the Brits to be full time

Unfortunately Renny won't be the only Flyers prospect to leave soon, there are others talking about it

Why the outrage about Marr, he has done well by moving to Blaze, if we are signing Daley again, there is no place for Marr in Flyers, are people suggesting we dump Daley who is a proven quality back up and been loyal to Fife for someone who may or not develop, this is a what happens in hockey, and why does Tyler Pleas always get brought up, he is a good prospect but 2 or 3 seasons for being elite ready.
