Another first year Pro. Riley appears to have some decent scouts, time will tell. Even if we sign Dingle we still wont win the most humorously named import this year. I believe that both Emmersons dad and brother are agents and both well respected so it will not be unusual for him to get young and hungry players for the Caps

He is as hungry as they come, never misses a meal

Craig moore signs for the stars So we're pretty much going with the same set of Brits then? Yet again our lack of ambition is being shown up by a club with a "smaller" budget.

Fitzgerald signs for Sheffield. t.co/nxjXVIrZamFitzgerald ''when I pull that shirt on I am a Steeler and every other shirt is painted red'' Wonder if the Giants signing Nickerson had anything to do with this acquisition, interesting times ahead the Erdhart games are going to be tough as there are some very impressive squads being assembled. The Giants v Steelers games just got a tad bigger. Giants Steelers and Panthers didn't really have an out and out enforcer last season and see this as a must have this season. It will be interesting to see what Finnerty is going to do to replace Fitz and Frank

Has Todd told you were going with the same Brits? I don't 100% know it hence the ? at the end However, history shows that it's very much a "jobs for the boys" environment and prospects outside the inner circle don't get much of a shot.

Looks like we'll be back with the same Brits. Tommy and Wando on the back end with Brucy riding the pine. I'm less worried about our Brits on the back end as both Wando and tommy have shown they can play at this level however the opportunity to work with someone like Craig would surely have been a priority he's spent 4 years honing his skills focused on hockey and was an U20 captain. He's a fife boy and we should have made him a priority but alas it looks like jobs for the boys again.
If we're stuck with gunny and torch in the 3rd line we are in trouble need to upgrade on our Brits or otherwise it will fe the same story well have our imports playing 25+ minutes a night leading to tiredness and inconsistency. Need to have 3 proper lines that can compete and it's clear to everyone we need two new British forwards if we are to achieve that.
Craig Moore could have been one of those guys.

I would like to know if these Scottish players at least had the option to sign for the flyers. If the flyers at least attempted to sign some of the Scottish boys and they decide to go elsewhere, the I have no problem with that. But, if some of these boys wanted to play for the flyers and were told the flyers weren't interested. That's where I have a problem.

I agree there should of been an offer in but we need to make better offers we can certainly outbid Dundee and Edinburgh for a signature

If(and I know it's a big if) we start the season with 13 imports. It might not be a major problem to start with the current Brits, although I believe at least 1 or 2 of them won't be back. If we go 1 goalie, 4 defencemen and 8 forwards in terms of imports. I'm sure we would have an adequate back-up goalie. Gunny on the 3rd line with Stewart and an EU passport holder. Muir and Wands/Horne somewhere in the defensive mix, preferably not together though. If saving money by employing cheap, local part-time Brits means that we have the money to bring in 13 imports then so be it. However if we start the season with less than 13 imports and Wilson/Scoon/Anderson getting ice time, I would be worried.

Doesn't always come down to budget. A young guy like Moore,looking to put himself in the shop window, probably made his decision for hockey reasons. Maybe felt his opportunities for playing and learning from players/coaches who could continue his development was better in Dundee.
