People are saying that the team will be poor this year!? I dont see where people can make these assumptions. Only 5 guys signed/announced. We knew that we were getting 4/5 players returning. We still have 9 imports to announce, i am remaining positive i think we will have a competitive squad this year!. And no im not a happy clapper im just thinking positive and not trying to guess the team

It may make him reevaluate his attitude.

Yes it would be good to ssign a team of superstars but would that guarantee succes, who knows, a team is made up of group of players who all bring something different to the table some will score goals some will save goals some will do the dirty work, theres also guys that are good to have off the ice, as Todd says he is a good guy to have in the dressing room these guys are also invaluable to a team if the heads are down or going through a bad spell, he may not be the hardest working on the ice but he may just contribute in other ways.

Well put. After speaking to a player from last year, foxy was a great guy to have in the locker room. And generally a good, sound guy. And as you said they guys are important too

I dont have a problem with fox. 24 goals for secondary scoring is pretty decent,he's a great penalty killer,hes not afraid to go to the dirty areas,he has unreal hand eye co-ordination,great on the puck(not the greatest skater),he has a good release,hes a big body,good on the pp,plays in all situations which is quite valuable for a club with not alot of depth. I actually quite liked him,maybe if he was a stronger skater he wouldnt be playing for the flyers..

Last years EIHL was probably the toughest to play in since we joined Fox was frustrating at times and lacked consistency posted missing at times but he is a good player if he brings his A game He was on our first line for much of the season, as some have said if the coaching staff can keep him focused he can be a better player for us this season. I will give him a clean slate for new season welcome back another 60 points please

We are bringing back a player and the comments are IF he works harder IF he brings a better attitude.
Is it just me who finds it odd that some are trying to justify this signing with IF. We saw it week in week out his efforts where poor overall yes he got decent points on our top line playing with our best forwards. Imagine what a Jason Pitton type could do in that position.
Sorry but for me he is a player we could and should have walked away from. Says more about the coach than anything Fox returning. Lazy recruitment.
Interesting side point Simmsy said tonight that Danny was responsible for a lot of what Flyers did in recruiting and running the team.

And as you said they guys are important too Good guy in the room, not a lick of effort or commitment on the ice, aye brilliant How ANYONE can be complaining about the standard of players we have signed so far is beyond me. We have recruited our three top scorers plus one other who is arguably the best in the league. And we are still waiting for another NINE imports. It s shaping up to be a tremendous season for Flyers even better than last year.
