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. Strachan probably dropped due to his high wage demands, more chance of him going shopping

Would be shocked if we signed someone of Strachan's style and pedigree.
Best we can hope for is probably an ex EIHL player like Jorgenson or Paquette who though decent aren't what we need.
I wouldn't mind someone in the style of Matt Delahey, likely cheap and therefore realistic coming with limited experience but he was a gem.
Someone like Hrynyk at Dundee would be good. 6'2 and 95kg, physical, willing to fight, solid at the back but also at the cheaper end of the spectrum which let's be honest is where we will be looking. Players like that must be available.

Hi zamboni do you think we are the only team that builds there d with all skill guys instead of a stay at home and skill guy on each line the way a team should be built To be honest I have not really studied the other teams that much this season yet but guess you can put Young, Jorgensen and Moyer in the skills bracket and Isaacs, Birzins Wando and Muir in the stay at home bracket so a bit of a balance would love to have seen a guy like Mark Louis in our team Tommy and Wando have been steady enough, we need to keep giving them regular ice time to keep them in the zone, not playing them regular sees a dip in form I have been to all the games bar the Dundee game and genuinely think we have a good team this year, I get what some are saying about a few of the players but happy to give another month to see how we shape up against the others with a full roster. Don't want to see our goal scorers in the bin when the going gets tough and would have liked to have the policeman but time will tell if we have it wrong

Steelers are announcing a player tomorrow so it may already be too late, but Darian Dziurzynski has just been released from his Slovakian club. Would any of you fancy him in your team? www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=33572

I'd have him spud over a point a game for Manchester last year big lad Aye, he's not a fighter, but won't put up with any c*** and will rough it up when required too. As you say, his size is good as well - means he doesn't get bullied in the corners or knocked off the puck too easily.
