Maybe Danny jumped the gun and in actual fact they are waiting for the paperwork to be confirmed first instead of getting a red face announcing then it falling through. There faces wouldn't be as red as when they announce Blair Daly won't be back up as they announced him joining before he had even thought about coming back !!! As pointed out to you on another thread Blair confirmed on Twitter he had signed back when the announcement was made and also said he was looking forward to returning. Maybe things have changed since then but that would be Blair having a change of heart so not really embarrassing for the club more inconvenient. Personally though until I hear from the club or Blair that he isn't returning I'll assume he's our back up.

Its quite possible in all likelihood Blairs personal circumstances have changed. He did tweet that he was glad to be back for another season. Love to know how in such circumstances why it would be embarrassing for the Flyers???

Nice to see the article is at the usual low standard. They have different spelling of his first name within in

States in the article as having AHL experience which he does but no points. None the less, played a few games so must be a decent player and good points in the CHL. Unfortunately still not enough to make me reconsider my decision to only attending a handful of games this season. Good luck Flyers

Up and down between the ECHL and AHL like nothing else over the last two seasons and the longest he spent in Iowa was just over a month towards the end of last season so more ECHL than AHL.
Not quite sure this is a stay at home D man that I was hoping for, he has more ECHL ppg in his brief spell ther than Paquet and Paquet was described as a puck moving D man when he signed but he gives us our full quota and Haines now is the smallest import D man we have and I think that looks like a very solid looking D unit.
Three Mallards players as well. Bet Quad City hate us

I received an e-mail from a Quad City Mallard fan who has sponsored Jeff Lee's away top and he is gutted that we have signed the three players. His quote to me was that we have signed 'three helluva good players'.

Bet Quad City hate us Jason Pitton was a bit up and down between AHL and ECHL if your good enough to get called up to AHL then your more than good enough for EIHL, looks a good player,Coaches have looked at the Gelling and Bonding of this team i think we look like the Dundee of two seasons ago

It was sort of my point that he was good enough to be kept being thought about by Iowa and kept getting called up. Bit early in the morning for me

One for the stats guys out there but would I be right in saying our top 15 this year will have far far more points CV wise heading into the season than we've had before?
