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 Who do you think we could get that is better than Muir?

Moore will be better than him, can tell he's far better on the puck and reads the game better, had the chance of Craig Mitchell multiple times, didn't offer the money for either, although I believe Mitchell is finished now. Tommy does a decent job but there will be guys in the EPL that will be better, but we won't pay Brits a wage anyway so pointless conversation.

sam mccluskey - 72 total points
craig more - 8 points - first year in the elite
tommy muir never had 8 points in any elite season
so there is 2 guys of the bat we should have and add another couple of brit forwards we could have a brit 4th line and a no bad one

Tommy has been far far below par this season and end of last.

No point of having a Brit 4th line in my opinion, we need to get away from this imports and Brits mentality and have 2 or 3 decent Brits that can integrate into lines with imports that will help them improve, concentrate on having 3 strong balanced lines, in D and up front. It's a team in a professional league, they should all be full time. I don't care if it's not the Fife way or never been done before, it should be now.

No way would Moore or McCluskey be coming here, both too good.
Mitchell would be great but i suspect he would have been here by now if he was willing to play for us.
Nicolson has done a job in the EIHL before so could be more realistic.

I agree 100% would rather have brits in all the lines, but the state at the minute is fife just dont have any british talent that could keep pace. Gunny has never been anything special, but id want to keep him, over the likes of wilson or wands. It would be a huge boost to the club to freshen up the ageing brititish faces in the line up. Why Scoon and Anderson dont get more ice time I dont get. Id disagree with the tommy comments. I would be tempted to go as far to say he is the best british player we have most nights.

The owners must think players must want to play for Fife rather than get paid a realistic wage is the way i see it, how else would you offer the likes of Craig Moore £25. Willie Nicolson is too small for the EIHL and never the same anyway after his concussion. There were a few good looking players at the GB prospects game at FIA a while back with the likes of Lewis Hook and a couple of others that stood out, Todd was supposed to be watching this game was anybody approached ? 4 line hockey in the EIHL......can't see that happening, perhaps special team plays improving but the extra import slot next year will put another Brit on the pile.

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. No real problem with him, but he is a just a 10 a penny goalie. Nothing special at all. It seems to me that most flyers fans always love a goalie tho. If we ever got one with a beard, that could throw a punch, the place would implode. ..and, yes I do go to the games Ever looked at the faces of the dmen when Brown attempts to play the puck behind his net? Its not the faces of men with immovable confidence that brown isnt about to fall over and put it in his own net. ;> It seems to me, that he has prob cost us more than won us, alot of games I have seen when the waves of “brooony, brooony” come out the stands, I wonder if the people chanting even see the hard work the d and forwards are putting in, clearing lanes, lifting sticks and blocking shots. If his name was Konstantinov, we wouldn't hear a peep ;> Thats my view, it seems more a relief when he saves, rather than an expectation. Maybe he will get hot in the playoffs, he might be that kinda guy. But looking at the league, to be at the sharp end, you need a solid goalie stacking behind you. And currently, we don’t.

I dont know the money side of the flyers, but is that woefully short of what Dundee, Edinburgh of the clan would offer? Id rather the team cut the bad brits, and let the actual young brits get some ice time. Anderson must kit up near every game of a season, and I bet hes not even getting 20 minutes of ice a season. This is not helping develop local talent. For the ice time Scoon has seen, he has gotten points - so why not play him more?

Yeah he probably is... And that's the problem. Nothing against Muir, works hard, is reasonably solid but still makes a lot of errors that cost goals and or turnovers, he's went backwards this season for me, and he is our best Brit and he probably wouldn't get a game for any other team in the league, that's a problem. And the Craig Moore thing is true, he was offered 50 or 60 a week, heard he's on nearly 4 times that at Dundee, they maybe pay their imports less or something but they'll probably spread their budget around more... Or just don't bank as much profit.

Surely their budget can't come close to ours given that their average crowd numbers, and therefore income must be not much more than 60% of that of Flyers, if it is even that. Flyers should be able to out compete both Dundee and Edinburgh for players, but apparently we can't or won't.

Think it's more the fact that if your a brit it should be more of a privilege to play for the flyers than want a good wage to do it,
