Looks decent!! But retired at 27?! Good amount of games in the AHL/KHL and a couple in the NHL.

I really don't think 4 lines is necessary in a league where you play 2/3 games a week listen to tony smith at the this year's fan forum they had, basically said he wants our league to be 4 line hockey league and a few teams were doing that last year more will do it this year and any team not playing 4 lines might just suffer I think Tony Smiths got this one wrong...maybe the arena teams might try it...not us with our resources though...it just dilutes our skill....if caps play 4 lines they'll need to ice the zamboni guy and Jock Hay

If we put 3 strong lines out, I don't see how here the 4 lines really benefit teams. I'd be surprised if anymore than a couple ran true 4 lines without having a couple guys pulling doubles.

Interesting rumour but with all due respect, and I'll happily eat my words if it turns out to be true, I can't see this guy heading to Fife. I'd expect him to try and play in the ECHL or even a country like Italy following an injury to regain some reputation, rather than one of the smaller clubs in the EIHL. In saying that though, the Flyers did take a worthwhile risk in signing Regan a few years ago following his injury (but as far as I'm aware Stewy was behind that decision).

Could be a risk worth taking. Guy has good experience in the big leagues. Any more information on where this rumour started. Not picking at anything just interested.

If we put 3 strong lines out, I don't see how here the 4 lines really benefit teams. I'd be surprised if anymore than a couple ran true 4 lines without having a couple guys pulling doubles. 4 lines against 3 will always win out over the course of the season, Last season it took teams/coaches a while to really get a handle on it. Players actually had roles in teams and that does take time to get used to. Like it or not its what gave Nottingham their success. Belfast Fife Coventry (who dismantled the devils 24 hrs earlier) couldn't handle them in the playoffs, they were relentless in forcing the tempo of those games. Yes the arena ones will do it where we most likely wont as we wont have the Brit depth to run 4 lines, We will likely compete in most games but end up losing games in 3rd periods more often and especially the Sunday games (which are normally away from home). Oh and for me this isn't about Arena teams in the EIHL, its simply about our league catching up with other leagues around Europe. The standard is going up and 4 line hockey is a natural progression of that increase.
