Wrong again...I know a lot of non happy clappers (me included) who would have been happy to have him back, decent defensively and had a bit nastiness, something we don't have at the moment. But in fairness I would rather he replaced Birzins as opposed to being our last signing. paquet no better than birzins ok player but just a big fairy prob got the best gelling and skillfull team in a good few years so need the physical guy to keep the good guys out the box

He’s 100% not what we need now, if he had been brought back basically instead of Isaacs or Birzins because he’s probably better than both that would have been fine, but we need something different right now. But it’ll probably end up being him because It’s easy.

Paquet is definitely what the flyers need for the last d man. He is a big body, who can play physical, is a good hockey player, and knows the club/ league. Cannot understand what people want in the last d man since really there are no enforcers out there apart from possibly Hendrixx, he would probably be a liability? We need a bit of size, is there better out there in our budget than Paquet?

Be interesting to see who comes in, to be honest, I wouldn't have an issue with Phil being back, he was rock solid last year, and had no issue throwing his size around.
I am actually pleasantly surprised this year at how things are looking this year, team looks hungry, and nice to see a few Flyers up at the top end of the points charts again this year. If we can get ourselves through the group stages, we have a real shot at the Challenge Cup I reckon. Hard to tell yet about the League itself, table looks completely upside down at the moment, but again, its hard to view any real answers from it with us and Caps having played only 1 league game, and others 7 and 8. We'll get a feel by the end of October I suspect

As Swarfiga said would he have been good instead of Issacs or Birzins yeah no question. Is he what we need for the team now nah not for me.

Jim Jorgensen anyone else heard same? To be honest, I was hoping for a guy like this who’s just become a free agent when Todd spoke of needing to add some muscle and how quality guys would become available if we were patient. He’s just been released from Stockton’s ECHL camp. www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=15420I’m not sure of the balance at the back if we added another offensive D man like Jorgensen when we’ve already got Moyer, Young and Birzins.

Like the look of Strachan for a bit of muscle, Jorgensen would be more like the Flyers dull recruitment though, despite Todds big talk of waiting for the filter down from the top leagues yada yada

Could be we might see a guy or 2 leave yet maybe though, were a couple not on mini deals, or was it just the 1 guy? If it is Jorgensen I wouldn't be too disappointed, albeit, we still need muscle and protection. But lets be honest, that's not really Todd's style, if he can get away without it, he will

Strachan ain't no shrinking violet fought Wayne simmonds tim spencer certainly looks like he would give the skill guys the protection they need him along with Gauthier schaber and young tam would give you a good core off physical play
