Todd spoke about a Squad of 20 during the interview seeing Kyle Horne on the ice and our new d man yet to be announced That will see our Squad complete. You just have to wonder if there is a surprise in store.

Was Kyle on the ice in the background to Todd's interview? Never noticed him. If he is indeed back and with our new d-man still to be announced that gives us a squad of 21 in total. That will drop to 20 when Beanie isn't in the squad though.

There was also rumours about Jordan Steel signing, don't think he has been announced at Caps yet.

With us going with 13 imports I don't see any room for Steel in this Flyers team unless we want to consistently run 4 lines every game and there is no need for 4 lines in this league. Why would Steel want to come here and sit on the bench with Wilson and Scoon for the majority of the games when he can get regular ice time still with the Caps.We certainly aren't going to bring in another Brit forward to have three Brit forwards sitting on the bench every night whether that be Wilson, Scoon and Steel or Wilson, Scoon and Gunn. Added to that is the fact that we have put Anderson on a two way, if we had any intention to regularly run 4 lines every game then Anderson would be part of the team all the time and on a line with Wilson and Scoon

Competition for places is never a bad thing. Bring steel in..... it puts the rest on notice.

I think running 4 lines is a must to match everyone else doing it. Over the course of a season running 3 against 4 will soon wear everyone down.

Teams won't be running 4 lines anywhere near a regular basis every game which is why we have Wilson and Scoon so they can fill that role with an alternating center when we need it

I thought you couldn't bring in extra players for the CHL games then reduce your squad for the EIHL. Didn't the CHL change the rules this year.

Nottingham Braehead are Belfast I'm pretty sure said it and Cardiff.
