look online, its pretty easy to find they make a profit I've not looked in a while but is it not a fairly small profit that goes to paying off Tam Muir's initial investment? Sure the last time saw the accounts he was still due in the region of £200k. From what I can gather that still looks to be the case. Flyers look to be paying of TM investment at around £19,000 (last year anyway) and he's still due over £180,000. Cash in bank at end of July 2016 was circa £15,000. So for people to think that Flyers are making a big profit is way off the mark as far as I can make out.

It would appear that the people who run the club have learned nothing from the last few seasons, it seems we are going with no size or physicality again.
Obviously the game is not played on paper but we certainly don't appear stronger than last year

Does anyone know when we are getting this 2nd announcement of a d-man who has played here before?

The poster that mentioned Nylen hasn't been wrong yet (good info) I think it'll be Nylen and Quick, if that's finalises our line up we are screwed

Nylen hasn't played in U.K. so he can't be the second of today's announcements

Mitch Nylen, if he's coming our way, was nominated for the Hobey Baker award, which means he's supposedly one of the 10 best players in NCAA Division 1. He should be pretty good.

If todays other signing is Mitch Nylen, I will be really happy actually, yes he has very little Pro experience with 2 games at the end of last season. But to be an NCAA captain especially for 15/16 when there were 15 older guys on the team is saying something about the kid. Also nominated for the 2017 Hobey Baker award which is for the top player in Div1 NCAA and is recognised as an excellent puck moving defenceman. He also won a D-Man of the week award which when you consider the hundreds off defencemen that are in the NCAA is a hell of an achievement. Also when you consider some of the top end talent that is heading into the NHL this coming season playing in the same level.
The Issue that comes up if this signing is right is because yet again the balance in the team would be all wrong. Its not him or Carlo that are wrong its the squad as a whole that just isnt right. One quick point the NCAA guys play very hard and physical hockey its at a level possibly above the EIHL. Its one thing Mosey and Nylen should bring with them, the lack of experience is an issue though.
Edit: cant be todays signing as someone already pointed out todays guy has played here before. Nylen would still be a good final signing though.

Point still stands that he's probably pretty decent, as you've explained.

Very frustrating because we have the basis of a very good team but some signings are just plain lazy and bizarre.

It's just poor recruitment yet again. Individually don't have an issue with the players but it's about a team and yet again far too many similar players with little size or toughness.
As others have said we had the skeleton of a decent side but the make or break was going to be the last few guys we should of lined up as follows now I couldn't say how we will line up.
Gauthier Leblanc (RH Sniper)
Schaber Stockton (RH Winger)
Bloodoff Heelis Beattie
Where does Finucci or Mosey fit in. Needed a forward like Dzyurzinski from Manchester on 2 and a sniper on 1 like Scarsella. That would have been a forward group to get excited about,
On D if the rumours are true that it is Quick and Nylan again individually don't have an issue. Quick in particular I always enjoyed watching but we needed some size on the back end like a Kuznik and a Nickerson instead we are underweight and undersized.
So sad that the potential of this great club isn't realised

Don't get me wrong, I loved Kuznik - one of my all time favourite Flyers - but by height and weight listed on Eliteprospects he'd probably be our lightest import defenceman this year. Listed as 6' and 183lbs. Didn't matter 'cause he hit and was physical, but he wasn't particularly big.
