With Jeff heading back to full fitness, will we drop anybody from the current line up or will he be the spare. I personally would put Jeff in for Danny and have Danny on the bench coaching, just think Danny runs the bench better than Todd. Don't get me wrong I think Danny has been playing good lately, I just think it's a win/win situation this way.

See where you're coming from but Stewart makes a difference on the ice, Lee does absolutely hee haw. Would have ditched Lee by now anyway. Like to see Danny on the bench next season, as long as we have someone good enough to replace him on the ice

I'm hoping Lee had been so poor because of the injury he was playing with. Hopefully we'l have the Jeff Lee from the opening few games of the season back.

Be nuts to drop Danny, we're better off with him on the ice.

lee should have went early in the season when it was known he had a long term injury nothing really against him but why carry a player that cant play most of the year properly

what games have you guys been watching Lee is a poor man's Danny Stewart,, Stewart finishes his hits and also a better player FACT, just saying

Lee should be kicked back to the bench for good after his performance last night. Awful.
Lazy and looked shattered after every shift (and he wasnt skaing hard during that shift)

Lazy and looked shattered after every shift (and he wasnt skaing hard during that shift) The guy clearly isn't at full fitness, he looks to have lost weight and his strength has gone. He needs time to get his strength and conditioning back up.Time we don't have left in this season. That being said the coaches obviously feel he is ok to play but I would (cant believe I'm going to say this) rather have watched Scoonie work his backside off last night. Than a obviously unfit still recovering Import. If were taking Lazy I would point to Fox, only interested in skating when he has a sniff at goal. He has put up decent points but not one I would want back.

He was toe picking all over the shop last night, he's fast but has no idea how to use his pace most of the time, the problem is having him or Cullen playing centre, they're both clueless, Danny gives that line balance and for me I didn't realise how much the team misses Danny until he's out.

Don't you need to have strength in the first place to be able to lose it? I assume that's meant to be funny. The guy has been out for weeks unable to train properly. He clearly has came back to quick to cover Danny being out. He played a large chunk of the season injured before being shut down to try and recover. Look at his first league game for us 2+2 and MOM. Seem to remember him using his strength and speed very well that night.

Oh wow, he had one good game at the very start of the season and done absolutely nothing since. I can see how that makes him a valuble asset. I'm sure even Josh Scoon had a half decent game for us this season, but I'm hardly jumping at the prospect of him returning.

Not sure I agree he is back too soon, pretty sure hes been fit enough for the last few weeks.
either way, I suspect as soon as Danny gets the green light, we wont be seeing Lee ice again.

I'm sure even Josh Scoon had a half decent game for us this season, but I'm hardly jumping at the prospect of him returning. Jeff Lee. 9+13 in 37 games with 61 PIMs. Basically playing on a level with Cullen and Danny points wise. Ahead of both in PIMs. Most picked up whilst on the 3rd line. Did we forget he was MOM at the end of November in a crucial win over Braehead? Or again in an away defeat to Sheffield in December?
Your opinion is based on no facts and pure bias against a player who you've seen play a poor game after several months out injured in a game where the entire team was whitewashed. On his game, Jeff Lee COULD be a valuable asset for us, as he has proven at times this year. What he lacked then was consistency. What he lacks now is match fitness and general fitness that he'll be lucky to recover before the playoffs, that does not make him a poor player as you seem to be suggesting.
