Todd is going nowhere, thank goodness. Danny will play on for at least another two seasons. If all Tam Muir was interested in was money, then he would never have let Nicker leave the Flyers.

If that's true what happens to the coaching set up? Can't see Muir paying 2 men to stand on the bench? Could this finally please god mean the end of Todd All of this is happening very conveniently for me. First we have the advert for the sponsorship post that Allan Paul has vacated, then an import is being brought on board. Who currently within the Flyers organisation would be great at selling the Flyers as they know us inside out? For me Dutiaume could easily do it and do it well. Stewart then becomes head coach in his own right but still registered to play to cover injuries and Sacchetti takes the open import spot. I think this is something we have been gearing up for playing wise as well with Stewart on a line with Dingle and Caig and Cullen playing centre to see how it would work and it doesn't create too much disruption with the lines when the new guy comes in It may all be far too professional and logical for Flyers to consider but I see it as an opportunity to shake things up within the whole organisation I get your thought train on the above ......but the club as it stands is terrible at marketing, PR, the whole shooting match. I think if you put dutes in that role it would slightly improve but to make the impact the organisation needs I think it would have to be someone with that background and they would need the nod to do / spend what was required. But if it's jobs for the boys then yes you may be right. I may be doing Allan a bit of dis-service as he may have had ideas and they have been quashed for various reasons. I do know first hand that the arrangement and dealing with sponsors is a bit erratic not unprofessional but needs looking after a bit better.

I think as much as I like Matt he's on a downward slope at present more in a "bums on seats" capacity. When he arrived in the league he made an instant impression I for one won't forget his first appearance for the Flyers. Now there are more enforcer types in the league and his presence is not what it once was. But I do agree if an enforcer type or indeed Matt signed for flyers tomorrow the crowd would would be a good few hundred more come Saturday that it has been (even with it being Boxing Day) How long the extra crowd lasted who knows.

Sales/sponsorship exec don't see this as being Todds bag. He would almost certainly accompany the sales exec to any potential sponser meetings But you need to be a special individual to do this type of job He has been involved in Hockey all his life and recently the Fire Brigade When the door closes on the Coaching he will most likely revert back to Fire Brigade and perhaps an ambassador role/coaching the young guys.

No matter what anyone thinks of Todd's coaching, and lately his interviews, he would be and is already an outstanding ambassador for the club.
With regards our new import I sincerely hope he is indeed an 'extra'. This team simply cannot cope with the loss of ONE import forward and this would address the mistake of not bringing in better Brits this season.

So last season with 2300 crowds we couldn't afford injury cover for Auger but this season with 1700 crowds we can carry an extra import?
Not that I'm complaining mind you. Would still like to see a couple more replacements made.

sounds like he has been out injured form his comments - Nico added “I'm really excited to join the Flyers for the rest of the season. It's been a long recovery for me and I can't wait to get there and get back on the ice. I hope I can help the team have a strong second half of the year and finish high up in the standings.”
are we taking a risk on a not fully fit player

i would think we have him on a cheap deal. coming back from injury and hasnt played since march Some folks on here are never happy, this guy will come in with a point to prove that he is back in business he will be fit and spend next couple of games getting up to full match fitness 99.9% of Flyers fans will be delighted with this signing and the Club have shown that they are not folding the tent on this season. This is a very positive move

This is a very positive move Maybe it's because although he is a good player it's the fact that Dutaiume has once again signed a guy that is very similar to what is already there!! He doesn't have a clue on recruitment and what the team is lacking.

Ahh whatever Todd, you might as well as brought Ned back. Not the right signing flyers have needed. But you keep trying to take the flyers back to the bnl days. I'm annoyed at the signing but I suppose the bigger picture is that I'm not really arsed about it because I stopped going to the games in November. Most teams recruitment during the season have been power forwards or enforcers. We get a guy who hasn't played a game in a year haha.

one guy that can put the puck in the net, one enforcer that can also play and a new coach and this team wouod win the conference and may be challege for something else, nico is a good player and he will be a good addition but i just wonder who fit he will be and hopw long it will take him to settle in after being out injured

He is a very good player (or at least he was) will be interesting to see if he can produce like he did for the stars. I think he is an upgrade on a few of the guys we have already but not the style of player we need or have been missing all season.
Think he will fit in well with Caig and Dingle for a very good scoring line.

Let's be honest, we know what todds tactics are bringing Nico in. He's so desperate for a great power play line and we have a team is small enough to draw roughing penalties. Mo must've gave Todd his playbook for Christmas. Again, I don't know why this is bothering me so much. I must be that 0.1% that isn't happy with the signing.
