Brown, rioux, delahey, dingle, sacchetti, we can upgrade the other areas and I think we need better brits if we want to win something

Could maybe see Bari Mckenzie being released by clan. 4 goals,7 assists in 47 games. Would we be interested?

[coloradoflyer]

He only left dundee because he was getting his move to the clan, don't think he would come to us

[johndabomb]

He'd be ideal if he'd come, similar level to Gunn if not better.

Sacchetti
Delahey
Broony
Dingle/Haines - I would like to see both these guys back but I want one of them to be given the C rather than having them both A's

[aland94]

Dingle (although may go back home given new family)
Sacchetti
Delahey
Caig

Thats it. We can't moan for most of the season and then bring most of them back

[--G--]

Danny - turns up every week, fights for his team mates and is proving even old folk can post numbers.
Haines - much under rated Dman. solid, and would like to see him back.
Nico - great hands, scores goals, gets points what more can you ask for.
Dingle - again skills and points - needs protection from a power forward in future.

wouldnt take brown back at all - middle of the road goalie, nothing more. If we want to move up to top 4 team next year, we need a proper star goalie. Not an average one.

Top 4's pushing it maybe...

can always hope

G you been on the weed man top 4 that's never happening

In my opinion we need to look at lines and balance across the time. So from my perspective this is the team I would like to see next year
Forwards
Top line : Nico, TJ and power forward like a pitton , salters who can protect but also deliver decent points - TJ and Nico both work hard in both ends and seem to have a chemistry
Second line Dingle, Stockton and a scorer - Ryan and Shane are fantastic in their own end and key to the pk success we have had this year they can also score and with a real sniper this could be a line that gives up very little but can also score points
Third line. Keep current line of Cullen , Gunnie and Stewie together again good in own zone and now as a line showing some real penetration and points

Would recruit more Brits like Mckenzie , Boyd as afraid current flyers not good enough

D
Delaney and Haines - very strong , Matt is a great stay at home man - might want a bit more aggression from him and Kyle very consistent
Rioux and a big tough guy who can intimidate and clear the zone Nick has been great on the pp - on his game paquet gas been good but not enough and not aggressive enough
Tough guy plus Tommy we need somebody who will sort it out. a defensive version of Jansen of panthers who can bring energy and hold both teams to account

Would also try and get plews from caps

Goalie.
Brown has really come onto a game but reckon we need to get somebody like Wilkman or try and tempt Murphy back from Belfast as reckon they will go young next year

The advantage of having a top Brit goalie can't be ignored

Just a ramble but interested in others views

I believe with nico from start and a a tough defender and power forward the current team could have been very competitive in all competitions

Well, you say that but are we really that far away?
Currently, we sit 7 points (minus 1 game in hand for them) off 4th.
We are only 3points off 5th.

Top 4 is achievable in this league for the flyers.

A better run in Oct/Nov and we would be sitting above Belfast easy I think.

[coloradoflyer]

It is all about consistency and generally we have a have bad slump mid season if we can avoid that and get the right balance then yeah anything is possible

[--G--]

All teams will have struggles, we have been pretty lucky (touch wood) with injuries.

Ideally flyers keep a good core, replace the goalie and show real interest in competing at the top again next season.

It would really help to have a real 4th line of Brits that could go out bang and gind a shift every now and then. Some fresh british blood would really help the depth

Don't know if you go to the games and what problem you have with Brown, but he has easily been one of our best players for the last two months. I would even say that he has been up their with any goalie we have had in the elite league, yes Regan and Pitton were good but they had some awful days as well.

[drwho]

Delahey
Haines (I'd have as assistant coach)
Dingle (I'd have as player coach)
Caig
Sacchetti

Dorr if he can prove he can stay fit


Brit wise.
Gunn is the only guy I'd have back

The rest can be easily replaced
