Nice guy and a decent player but he's 26 would rather see us focusing on bringing up guys at 18/19/20 on 2 ways to make them ready (if they can) to play for the flyers as regulars in a few years.
Need to look beyond even them and plan for the prospects who stand out at 16/17 now.
Who am I kidding lets just keep signing Scoonie, he is great in the room!

Do you think he will train with the Kestrels no I don't know if he'll train with the kestrels or if he'll train with both or if it will be just with the flyers, but I would think any Brit would benefit from training with imports so beans could be good for the kestrels too. But if you want to be so negative about it would you like to explain how this is going to be bad for the kestrels. This is one of the few good moves flyers have made this summer and it has been met with so much negativity on social media that honestly I think some people are just looking to moan.

If he can improve and show it works. it would give the others a chance as Todd would see the improvement and claim credit for the idea haha

The only person that will be on two way with Flyers will be Bean Scoon would struggle to get on 3rd line with Kestrels

Didn't think Anderson would sign again give he didn't get opportunity last season to prove himself, but obviously Todd sees a spot for him. It's a win win situation for him, Kestrels and Flyers. I know he's well respected at the club for his ability and as a person, he has a positive attitude. He's just not very vocal as some would like. Good luck to him.

The only person that will be on two way with Flyers will be Bean Scoon would struggle to get on 3rd line with Kestrels This comes accross as bitter its only a hockey game Regardless if it seems bitter or not. I’ve been going to Flyers for 15years (Including the SNL years) and struggle to think of a player as bad as Scoon that has pulled on the Jersey. Even for personal pride alone, when you becoming a laughing stock with your own fans it’s time to call it a day. I gave up my season ticket last year and once again I will just pick and choose the games I attend. One of the many reason for this is Todd icing Scoon and players like him. Week in week out 2000+ people can see the boy isn’t a hockey player but Todd still picks him. You have people in section G chanting his name for some sort of comical value. Does he actually believe the ‘support’ he gets is genuine? The oldest hockey club around, steeped in history and they are icing players that even the loyal support have no time for. Some people think it’s funny but I for one find it infuriating. Fans pay good money week in, week out to watch one of Todds friends to ‘play at being a hockey player’. I have no children in the junior hockey system and never played in the fife system so there is no personal agenda to this rant other than getting ripped off as a paying customer. However, if I did have a kid that was better than Scoon (he would be) and was getting held back I would be furious. I would love for one person on here to jump to his defense because I am very interested to hear an opinion of why he should be on the team.

Well said Jambitink
You may have a while waiting for a "case for his defence" coming.
Take this as my only explanation, even though still not worthy enough for a professional league.
The lights are off and your wife wants more and more, you turn to the side of the bed and there is Scoondog with all the enthusiasm in the world waiting for a shift. You give him the nod and he's over the ottoman like a goal hungry sniper. Taking anything that comes his way for the team, in the knowledge that he will be hooked the second you get your breath back. No hero worshiping for his services rendered, just a pat on the back for keeping the juices flowing.........

So over on the Clan forum Flyers are in the main predicted to come bottom of the league. Dundee fans also having their say and they are in agreement. No one including Dave Simms is at all impressed by the recruitment at Fife .
