Pitton Haines Chaumont Hogg New Dolan Dutiame Stewart Hamish Gunn Wilson Scoon
I just think if you look at that for an example of what you could have if we signed one more I really think we could end up winning the conference and finishing 5th or 6th which would then see us getting a better play off draw, I don't see it happenin either but if the crowds keep up I don't see why not!

With the deadline being sometime in Feb this year, I think because of the NHL lockout, it gives us longer to think about bringing someone else in for a run at the play-offs and it also gives us a shorter period of time to pay a player if we do bring someone in late.
Dutes is going to have a problem when everybody is fit and we don't bring in an extra body What is he going to do with that second line and then the third line.
One more body we run four lines.
Sticking with what we have means we are one short for four lines and somebody other than Scoony will be loosing out on ice time

I think that 1 extra body makes a huge difference as either dutaiume Stewart or Dolan is going to have to drop to the third and that's no ideal for any of them.

Still think we need someone who can put it about as well as play. When we get to the playoffs we will need that extra physical presence if we are going to make any sort of impact against against the likes of Sheffield/Nottingham/Belfast etc.

After hearing Todd talk about how we were bullied in Nottingham we do need a deterrent against this type off play, we rely to heavily Jason ability on the top line to use him as our extreme physical guy, said this before but I would love to have Colt King in our line up. Can play and put up points but defo would stop some off the nonsense that other teams try and put over us especially the southern teams away from home.

Don't know if there are any players like that floating around at the minute. For me a Karry Biette type player to centre the second line would be my preferred option if we were looking at bringing in another.

I have to wonder, given the continous fuss over the last couple of years about lack of physicality and lack of imports, would there be the appetite in Fife for a Telford style deal where interested fans basically get an import for the team? In other words, fans sign up and commit to paying X amount weekly to pay the player's wages. Obviously the more people that sign up, the less each person has to contribute.

I suggested that months ago when we were suggesting another import. I don't think the management want the full quota I'm afraid. As we have not had a game with ten imports this season, they will wait till they see how we play with our full quota. I doubt they would be keen to be honest, which is a shame as it would give others a rest to have someone else out there. Now who would like to fund Colt King for Flyers?

I would assume that by going to the matches I was funding the squad. Costs enough, especially when more than one in the family goes, without putting up extra money I'm afraid.

Also, why would we run 4 lines - that's crazy. You get three reasonably strong lines then that's plent of rotation to keep guys fresh and in the game. The fourth would have to sit and would only get the odd shift now and again

If Caseys injury is bad then we will definitely need to invest in another but according to Matt Elder it is not as bad as first feared so he may be back for the weekend.

It is a point that should not even need discussed, it is a disgrace that the team does not have the 11th import even more so now it is halfway through the season. If Colt King IS avialable he would be the missing link for the Flyers and would EASILY pay his own way.

Dundee said that the extra fans we had at there rink payed for them them to bring in an extra import, so what about the extra crowds we have had in the last 2 weeks surely the income from then would give us enough in the kitty for a player.
I think we will need a another player as at this time of year players will pick up knocks and maybe miss a game or 2 and there is also the chance of another suspension or 2.
