I'm reading on twitter that coventry's NHL'r is going home after tomorrow's game, is this more bad news for Braehead as surely Miller will be on his way as well.

Braehead are talking about bringing in 4 new players any time now. A replacement forward for Miller, replacement for Zemlak who is reputedly going home soon, perhaps Colt King and a good d-man?

Looks like Wedderburn, King, Zemmers replacement and a new forward to replace Miller.

Money, money, money...
The conference is obviously too close so they feel they need to spend even more money as they can't have other teams around them beating them!

I dont think they have a great deal of quality in their team though. Goldie is an excellent player as is JK. Birnstill is a good player and I was impressed with Nicoletti on sunday but Mcpherson and Hanson are very poor imports and wouldnt get near a spot on our team.
I would take their brit pack over ours especially Farmer, Haywood and Walker but lets be honest the cost of their brits compared to ours will be much greater. I was very impressed by Farmer on Sunday thought he had a very good game and now he has stopped fighting and focusing on playing I think he is reaping the rewards.

He just skates into a scrum that others are having and has a dig in folks backs |

Farmer can't fight, I thought he was going to have a heart attack when Pitton grabbed him at Braehead.

I know he can't fight but he had a fair few fighting majors last year and roughing penalties. You dont need that from a brit with his ability he could become one of the next big british players along with Dowdy and Peacock if he keeps improving.
How many brits were drafted in the OHL import draft? There is no doubting his talent and if his attitude continues to improve then he will be of value to any team in this league

Must admit- he looked a heck of a player on Sunday. I've not seen that from him so far but I'd agree that the talent is obvious. I wonder if he feels his job is now under threat because he looked like he was going through the motions in the other games. He must be on a pretty big wage seeing as Braehead gazumped Coventry.
I'd doubt he'll ever fufill his potential- he's just too full of himself.
Regards the fighting, a lot of fans say he used to fight all the time against anyone but was consistently taking second prizes so I guess that's why he now plays the role of cowardly agitator. There's quite a few vids on YouTube including him taking a pasting from Lee Mitchell!

Money, money, money... The conference is obviously too close so they feel they need to spend even more money as they can't have other teams around them beating them! Losing Drew Miller due to the lock-out about to end, Jesse Schultz deciding not to go to the Clan, Tuma being released, Jade also out long term.. I'm sure the Clan will be hoping to add to their ranks... Colt King and a few other signings may just help them start to get their season back on track... |

Miller's last game for Braehead will be against us at Braehead on the 5th. They will be without him at Kirkcaldy on the 6th. It could be an interesting weekend. Does he go all out against Belfast on the 3rd and us on the 5th, or will he be sensible and keep away from the chance of getting injured before returning to the NHL?

That press release from the Clan is a bit confusing.
It does suggest that Millers last game is on Sat against us by then why give him a presentation after the Belfast game?
Surely you would give a presentation after the last game, not the second last game?

Maybe they don't yet know what his last game will be, although they may know he'll leave this weekend at the latest.
Glad to see the NHL back on (if it happens) and we can all return to normality. Wasn't a fan of bringing ringers in. Despite the claims of them being good for the game over hear, I can't say I've noticed any benefits for the sport in general over here.
