I saw a rumour from Braehead suggesting Colt King was going there :-(. I would love to see him at Flyers but doubt the management would like him. He would add something that would bring extra people through the door.

Neil Black must be spending some amount of cash on players with the comings and goings. Going to take him a while before he recoups his losses there I think.
If Panthers win the league this year, he will probably turn his attention to Braehead next and give them more budget.

Braeheads attendances already put them far and away ahead of any of the other Scottish teams when it comes to the players they should be getting in, and they are only getting bigger! Thats certainly not the case in Fife, sure a few big crowds here and there but there are a lot of disgruntled fans still.

Just as well dundee spent that extra money on krauss. like a lot of their imports that guy is a hologram. i'd rather have the ten guys that we have than others who have little or no impact.

I don't understand why everyone keeps going on and on about us "needing" another import.
Would the 11th import make a difference?
Sure it would. But look at the team we have got. I wouldn't swap any of our imports for any other in the league. Look at the damage we can do with 9 of our imports on the ice. We beat Caps yesterday with 8 for most of the game, one of which is just back from injury and says himself he isn't match fit.
And when we do go down an import from suspension or injury we have seen that the other guys pick up their game.
I think we should all wait until we have the 10 on the ice skating before we start judging.

Whilst it's a nice arena, they must pay a fortune to play there.

Attendance wise, they are currently the 4th best supported team in the league. The problem they have currently is they have recruited players, not a team.

I want to see the make up of this team and what we are like with the 10 imports we have. I thought Dutaiume was outstanding for us when he went on to the first line in Edinburgh and really drove us forward

Hogg defo not, he is a perfect fit for the team, does what's his asked and coming up with points, why would we swap him he is an asset, dutes also has been sweating buckets for the team and in my opinion and is contributing enough for him to be justified in wearing a shirt, who is to say the guys you bring in as replacements would fit in, they may be better players and as additions they would be good, but I can see no justification in gassing any of the current team for anyone. Loyalty to the players who are doing the business has always been the Flyers way, and I appreciate that

I agree we need to start next season with 10 imports straight of the bat and maybe some will leave but I hope a lot of the guys from this year would be interested in donning the flyers jersey for another year. Todd has been brilliant of late and whilst I think 11 including Todd would be a team capable of challenging for 4th/5th I am not sure we will see it.
I think we lack a bit of creativity without Hainesy and rely heavily on him to push us forward and create on the PP. We also perhaps lack a bit of toughness but I would probably wait til next season to address that as there will be very few players of the right quality on the market at the minute.

We have constructed a team that fit nicely together on most nights. Granted there is the odd night at home in which they lack the glue but most nights at home they are on it and over the last 2 away games we have been playing well. To be honest, if Caisey is out for a game or two, it could be good for the team as someone will have to step up and after the do we won't let them step back down. We could have fast creative play on more than one line. But saying that i hope to god that Caisey isn't out.
