So did Jackman and he went down well at the shops. So did/does Brooksy and he seems to be alright, Potulny is 32 and was almost a point a game in the EBEL last season. Last 4 leagues he has played in AHL Extraliga Liiga and EBEL. He was top scorer for the Pelicans 2 seasons ago in Finland. Not sure how you don't see this as anything other than a very very good signing or is it because its the Clan and anything they do we have to hate on? He is a top signing for any team in this league.

it is a cracking signing, and the boy can hit as well - .
over 400 games in AHL and over 100 games in the show he can't be a bad player

Playing for The Hawks how can that be bad @ biased as feck .com.
Side note. I heard the goal celebration at KIA on Sunday was the tune the Blackhawks use .. just wished we got the truck airhorn before it to complete the job.

Chelsea Dagger which I've heard too often at the UC with the Wings 😪 We badly need a horn of any description for period ends.

I didn't say he wasn't a good signing, I'm saying stats don't always equate to a successful player.

We would be doing cartwheels if we were signing a guy like this........instead we get an injury plagued centre, a centre who didn't play at all last season, and by all accounts ( I wasn't there at the weekend ) an over weight centre

No but you related it to Jackman who didn't have the best season for them, clearly trying to imply that this guy might be the same. Doing that makes it come across as though you are trying to say this guy will be a bad signing for them. His stats in the leagues he has played in and his age clearly suggest he will be a hell of a player for that purple lot. Flyers fans would be going nuts if we pulled this one out the bag.

He'll do well. Very popular at Braehead already and he's not even here yet. Like someone said a couple of posts ago, if he'd signed for Fife, you'd be doing cartwheels down Kirkcaldy High Street. Welcome to Braehead Ryan!! 😀

Welcome to Braehead Ryan!! 😀 Do you always jump straight onto the Flyers forum to gloat about any Clan signing you like?! Why on earth would you welcome 'Ryan' to Braehead on here? Think there's very few Flyers fans would dispute that he looks a good signing.

The general feeling in fife is that if the Flyers signed an enforcer the rink would be packed every night as it was when Nickerson was here. (I'm firmly in this camp)
However, if the Flyers signed a similar player as this guy, with genuine NHL pedigree, I also think you'd see the same results.
From my time supporting Flyers all people want to see is a fast skillful team that competes every night. This is what Todd promises every season. When in reality his signings a rarely fast or skillful, when compared to other players in the league.
I hope Flyers aim isn't to win the conference this season, they have no chance.

I dont disagree with you on saying flyers have always been known for having a fast skating team to use the big rink to our advantage but hockey has changed .you need more than having just speed merchants in this league id say 70% off your team has to be big physical type players and 30% speed .and when I say big physical types I mean guys in the mould off salters desbiens up front and guys like nickers size at back
