Dundee Have Clarkson also who challenged our bench when Nicker was outCaps Emmo stayed clear of Nicker last season but Nickers gone hope we don't end up being whipping boys No point in having one tough guy that gets suspended and offers no protection to his team mates when in the stands. How about a few guys that will stand up to this? Sure, they may get a beating but the fact they're willing to show they won't back down speaks volumes? Are people really wanting an enforcer or are they wanting someone to win fights? Im going to be fair and say you raise one good point, no point having a tough guy who will be suspended. But that's it. The rest of the garbage you're spouting though? How about we want an enforcer who WILL win fights? How about that? How about we have a said enforcer who could go to Dundee and win against Clarkson, go to Sheffield and win against Fitzgerald and of course Belfast and win against Nicker, not to mention the other enforcers who will grace the EIHL this year. Momentum is a word I'll use here. Away teams don't usually have a crowd (unless you're Braehead) to get them pumped, so the players do it themselves, whether it's an early lead, a couple big hits or A FIGHT WIN. Don't give me this nonsense about a player(s) getting into fights and getting a spanking every time will be good for the team! Haha you're mental.

In my opinion we have upgraded on toughness and point production but we still need an out and out tough guy to see us through these one point games.

This is all driven by the increase in the import limit. The arena teams have the depth so can afford to use an import slot on a fighter. This then forces the other teams who don't have the same depth to then use an import slot on a fighter. redtussell44 - I presume we won't be seeing you at Flyers games this season then?

I like to think ill be going to a few games mate, but, if I have a free night and there is a better game elsewhere in Scotland, I might go along to another game and give them my hard earned cash.

Like sparky says the arena teams can afford a fighter due to depth. We can't and I believe we won't have a fighter, if they get banned and we get injuries to key players which always seems to happen to us were screwed better fir us to have everyone there every night rather than not, gives us a better chance

An enforcer on top of the toughness we already have wouldn't go amiss. What toughness would that be? I believe we have guys this year that will stick up for themselves, last year luka and Fulton just mouthed off and ended up taking silly penalties.

Any of our players even try go with the big boys in this league then there's your injury. Not one import we have signed have fought a proper enforcer which every team have this year.
We sign a fighter we will have less injurys during the season.

I reckon one of the last couple of signings will be a guy who is not an out and out enforcer but can drop the gloves here and there, surely todd and danny realise that we need someone who will stand up for the team and not let idiots like fitzgerald run riot in our own barn

Only because Clans two Enforcers let them win the Leauge You have a point Nickerson must have sat out 30+ games in two seasons We want a controlled Enforcer

Enforcers are overrated. 99% of fights are a wrestling match with a take down and has no bearing on the outcome. Tight defence and goals at the other end win hockey games. Don't get me wrong I like watching a fight but it's a sideshow. Got to ask the question why are the NHL teams getting rid of fighters?
