Does every post on another team signing a player have to result in a several digs at our club/management? Pretty sure Dundee signed their team earlier than us last season yet we still managed to finish above them in the league, conference and made the play-offs. I'm all for signing players early, getting the team here early to bond, help with season ticket sales etc but the quality of our imports hasn't been too bad over the years. Yes, I'm a glass half full kind of guy

And by the start of the season it will be full, so give the club time. So much negativity on this forum, especially after our best season to date in this league.

Masked by a decent play off push post xmas.

So much negativity on this forum, especially after our best season to date in this league. Best Season To date, statistically speaking yes it was (just). Entertainment wise nope not for me, the end of the season and the playoffs were terrific I take nothing away from that. The rest of it was anything but our best. BUT - and here is the thing "build on that finish" I met some fans in those last few weeks who haven't been to the hockey in years. They brought their kids who loved it, grab them and keep them informed and build on the success of beating the Clan and getting to Nottingham. Maybe they are working away ready to wow us in the next few weeks (I bloody hope they are) but as it stands we don't have a coach announced. The lack of any news even this early isn't great IMO. Its ok saying oh we will have a team come September don't worry about it, and yeah we will but considering the club want to take that next step on the ice in this coming season would it not be an idea to keep the fans engaged as much as possible. Every other club is doing it (except the caps and they are a bombscare at best). What does this club know that the other clubs/coaches don't? If others are happy with this then that's great but I'm not. I expect much better from this team and the management as we approach our 6th season in this league everything has moved on so much each season across the league. Yet we persist on working in this old fashioned way, it just doesn't cut it anymore.

Apart from the Clan two leg games,this season hasn't been exciting, what l would like to see season coming is a big signing, just one player is all l ask that when everytime he steps on the ice you will see something special, like..stoyanavich, the Czechs,spadafora,etc, those players could lift a game by the scruff of the neck and make it great,

The trouble is the league being of a higher standard it is harder and much more costly to bring in the players that get you out your seat. Especially when every other team is looking for the same type of player and some have way bigger budgets.

I am sure we will have a team by September of sorts. Why not keep us informed a bit better. We still have no coach. We were told Todd needed a fortnight to tell us his decision. The fortnight is up. What is the4 decision?

What is the4 decision? Yup, we may already have a team but, as usual, nothing announced! We moan about this every single offseason and quite rightly so! we are always last to the party. As you said it builds interest, we sign someone and go research them, see who they are, what they bring to the table etc. We are standing by watching other teams announce half their team and we are left with heehaw announced leaving us frustrated! A few seasons ago when they had a signing announcement every week was pretty good it gave us something to look forward to (The usual Brits to be announced 1st anyone?)
Get the finger oot Flyers!

Logan MacMillan back for the Panthers. Very good player just the type we need to replace Danny not terrific points last season but the workrate he puts in is unreal.
