Last import?

[swarfiga]

🙈🙈 think it's clear that was a wee joke mate

Obviously these bargain buy no offer guys are thin on the ground or Todd's pal network is exhausted.

Every single post goes off topic all the time, sick of reading the same c*** from the same people. Is this form to discuss ice hockey or is it to talk about stupid bloody comments. Yes we can all have a laugh but at least try to keep it to the original post.

In your OP you asked when will the Flyers announce their last import- did you really expect that someone on here could answer that for you? You'll just need to sit back and wait for the announcement like the rest of us.

I don't think there is any intention of signing the last import any time soon, very much a case of start the season and see how we go! New import for Christmas anyone?

sounds about right but we shall see

New import is definitely required, Flyers have struggled for bodies throughout the previous 6 campaigns due to injuries and lack of good British skaters ......... maybe Todd has under-estimated the EIHL yet again.
Here is a suggestion sack Todd & Hutchins bring in the likes of Paul Adey, have Russ Moyer as an assistant coach like Danny was and bring in a power forward & a hard nosed D man.

[boschman76]

Ronnie make moyer player coach and put a brit as bench coach and bring in the physicality we obviously need

[sjam1987]

more worrying is Gauthier isn't at training tonight

Sensible suggestions like that are not required here.  Sorry.

[losttheplot]

Every year we get any number of suggestions about how we should fire our current coaches and employ a bench coach from one of our senior players. Dingle,Jackman now Moyer have all been mentioned on this forum. Has any of these players ever been asked or even shown any interest in such an appointment?

Nae point asking them with the current people occupying their seats. I think we should send Iles back and use Marr. Nothing against Iles but I don't see him as that much better than Jordan

[greyhound]

I do wonder what the likes of Gauthier Moyer and Iles our higher end imports have been told. Did they expect better recruiting whether that's standard of import or type of player as in toughness considering the pr that was given out in off season.
If flyers not careful think we are in danger of these boys thinking of going elsewhere a la Siddall. They need to show bit ambition make a decent tough last signing give the rest a platform to work from without being bullied like last season.

I don't think Marr is ready to be first choice but if we share the workload and give him plenty of chances he could be ready next season with someone like Douglas or Little as backup.

If that is the case (haven't seen Jordan play yet so cant say but his performance on Sunday was very good by all accounts) then your missing the point entirely. We need 2 very good goalies for the schedule we will face. Having Jordan play 20-25 games would be excellent and will keep Iles fresher as we get to the business end of the season. If we sent him back (which would for me be nuts) we would be putting everything onto Marr and he cant handle that workload, thats not disrespecting him at all just common sense in todays game.

Our strongest position by far is our netminding.
