Little bit unfair TBH Dingle Sisca Brooks Schaber Thinel Stockton Owen are all good signings. Jackman and Follmer are wait and see for me possibly Finnucci as well. Fox Paquet and Turon are the real concerns for me. Put in 2 tough physical defencemen and say John Kurtz in place of those 3 we would have a good balance of styles and the added toughness everybody sees we need. We say this every year, I don't understand the way Todd thinks, every season we could have been a couple places higher if his recruitment was more balanced in my opinion! Your assuming that Todd given the funds to get the team he wants, he said in his interviews he lost players he was after to other teams, now why do players choose to go to there preferred clubs, money or uni deals, we can't offer one of them and maybe can't offer the higher wage to compensate for this either.

Flyers don't pay penny's, I just don't think it's a coincidence that every season it's clear from the start the team as a whole never has that balance throughout that you need. He signs guys that are far too similar constantly.

I agree I am not really enthusiastic about this team and last year's for me was some of the most uninspiring hockey I've watched in 31 seasons but he said he never got all players he wanted just wondered what we would be like if he had

That's 2 guys in that mould he's managed to get in 5 years, possibly 6. Most teams get at least 1 of that type every year, that's down to him, not missing out on the odd player or because of money, not every year.

Just look at the blaze they have brought in good players since Danny arrived including tough physical players. Todd could bring these guys in no problem but he doesn't like players like that.
Outside Nickerson we have watched flyers being pushed around for years. This season the same thing will happen. Watched a few vids today of guys taking cheap shots against us and players doing nothing about it. Other teams just don't put up with it. I wish we were the same.

Russ Moyer Fairly old for a hockey player - check Played mainly in lower leagues - check Not physical - check Not wanted by previous UK team - check Passes all criteria, he's ours 34 is not old for a D man. I wouldn't call the Allsvenskan or Danish leagues as lower leagues. No idea how physical he is as I only saw him twice and that's not nearly enough to judge. Who knows if he was wanted again in Sheffield, maybe Moyer decided that he didn't want to be around a team that has an attention seeking estate agent who thinks he is something as part of their staff and asked not to be considered for them

Just watched Todds interview part 2 today, firstly fair play to Ali for asking a couple decent questions.... He's pretty much said the last D man won't be the tough guy most want, and also which I find f#%*ing staggering that not all the team will be here by Monday 22nd. Most teams are already here starting camp, a couple have already played a game or 2, well done Todd and Tam, bloody fantastic.
