I'd take Klotz in a heartbeat. He's stood up against Mcgrattan, Bordeleau, Nickerson, Fitzgerald and Vandermeer only losing to the 2 top heavyweights. A guy like Klotz can win fights and get the crowd going. Faryna would be great for us but I can't see him winning any scraps against fitzgerald or nickerson if one of our guys took a nasty cheapshot from one of them. Would love to have both of them sign for us but I think the chances are smaller than slim.

Dutes comments from today on the website
One thing is very clear to me you need more than 1 (3 minimum with at least a few others willing and able Tommy Muir a great example of that) and 1 has to be a heavyweight. Rosehill would be my choice.
Then 2 BIG defencemen who love to play the physical game, mean stay at home punishing hitters.

Faryna would be a great signing, a tough guy who can play, but he was allowed to play because they also had Cescon. You need more than one player to do the business. I'd take Faryna and Klotz, but i'd rather have Faryna and Cescon or Nickerson or a.n. other heavyweight ... then build a fast skilful team on top of that, with 14 imports it can be done.

I would have liked to have seen him admit the recruitment the last few seasons has been wrong and we have been pushed around far to easily and that he intends to make sure that isnt the case this season. If his comments about signing tough guys who can stand up for the team and give the fans something to cheer about while maintaining skill and speed in the line up do become accurate by signing the right blend of guys/styles then he will win fans back. . You've articulated a lot of what I feel just there. Very, very hard to argue against that. I really hope Duties pulls that off and makes hockey night a joy again. Win, lose or... err...OT W/L

I would rather have say Klotz Faryna Vandermeer and Rosehill. I know that sounds like way to much but you would have one on the ice all the time. Klotz would take the main fighting role leaving the other 3 free to play but obviously they could all stand up to anyone and all 3 can play the game very well and fighting would only be if required. Chances of signing a group like that are probably zero (not picking out those guys as who we should sign but just the general idea of type of guys we need). Got to say despite all my criticism and moaning on here if we did sign these 4 and brought in some skill around them (Mosienko for example) I would go and get a season ticket the next day.

Todd would make a good Tory candidate, says one thing and actually does the other, I would not get excited about anything he spouts.

An update from Hutchy and his plans for the new season.
I struggle to be anything but cynical about any off this after watching a season off our local guys riding the pine more than in any other EIHL season.
I hope we actually do give development time to the next generation, however both our coaches aren't exactly well known for bringing on young players.
