Looks like he knows where the net is! Out of interest what sort of level is the CHL? It was similar to the ECHL but slightly lower, guys who scored well in the CHL tend to score lower in the ECHL. Still loads of good players from that league have played here and done really well.

Delighted with this signing! This is the sort of guy who we should be looking to sign year in year out! Sounds like a natural born leader and may be our new Player-Asst. Coach? We now have a bunch of guys more than capable of scoring 20+ goals, I just hope we dont do a Manchester this year as our D looks weak, hoping Delahey is our last D Imp to bolster it Looking forward to see this guy play

This is a very good signing and one that we should all be happy about. He will put up good numbers in this league as he has always done through his career.
One thing for sure we have a hell of a lot more experience in the room this season. With Todd on his own that's actually a very good plan so hats off to him for that.
This signing should get folk excited for the season but if I'm honest how this summer has been handled by the club has left me in a state of apathy. Hopefully once things kick off I will be looking forward to the action starting at the minute I'm not sure I really care to much.

Like it has already been said earlier, if this guy was announced sooner around the time Rosehill & Neilson were announced, I think people would be a bit happier, but maybe nothing had been negotiated yet with him etc but just a thought
This summer has just been the worst from a fans point of view, I'm actuall scunnered by the club! I know some people will be saying give them time etc but I thought we would have done a wee bit better with the signings, I will give the guys a chance but judging by other teams rosters, It aint gonna be a great season for us. Lets just hope I'm wrong and I will happily eat my own words No one can deny that the extreme lack of any PR or updates of interest has been utterly appauling this summer and has got to be the worst offseason yet for all that, I feel we have went backwards

Agree with your view on the club PR, however we really shouldn't judge the team and our opponents on current rosters. I seem to remember last year that Clan were tipped for big things yet we effectively tied them in the Conference (crazy rule stopped us winning that) and knocked them out of the playoffs. As you say, lets hope your wrong

We will score goals no problem our defence is my main concern as I fear we will be too soft and to slow.

Like I've said we are at danger of doing a Manchester this year, no doubt we will score a barrel of goals but I suspect we may be too leaky at the back, If we have signed Owen he will have to be outstanding this year for us as our current D look like they wont offer him the best protection and may be a target for some of the big goons this year, but as you said, no judgement until we see them play, can only pray Paquet has somehow put on 20-30lb of muscle to beef up our squad

Do you expect us to announce signings that haven't been made yet? It also wouldn't matter in what order signings were announced as people would complain regardless. If the signings were front loaded they would complain that they had nothing to look forward to over the summer. The flyers can't keep everyone happy as we all have different ideas on the best way to announce signings. I do feel that people forget that we are a provincial club operating in a national league that is only able to compete through the benevolence of the owners. It can't be easy attracting people to kirkcaldy if they are offered the same money as teams from Belfast, Glasgow, Cardiff, etc. Every other club on the league is operating out of a city which can boast a far wider range of shops and amenities that must make it more enticing for players, particularly those with families, to come to. So on that note this is a great signing, regardless of when it was announced. X1
