Really? I would say the D needs at least 3 new imports as they looked very slow and unorganised. I know its early days but the D looked a bit concerning IMO. Theyve litterally played 2 pre season games and you want to gas 3 players already............ Stoflet looks poor so far and would like to see Isaacs as a spare forward tbh thats my thinking, It is early days indeed but defence looked weak.

We have 2 D on trial in Grigors and Adamsen. Arrasen is still to arrive and a replacement for Moyer. Preseason is about skating the rust off and looking at line combos. Issacs is our 5th D man (probably) and an emergency forward. He's not a flashy D man he looks after his zone and does the job. The new players are still getting settled into a new town, new coaches, new routines. Youre writing them off before the season has started.

I thought Stoflet and Pinkston were the two defenceman who actually looked comfortable

Early days fte4 two games we have a good forward group still to really gel but some good interplay so confident that will be sorted and many goals to come Owen is class and has faced a lot of shots so far which is not ideal but as a goalie will get his eye in Re d we are 2 d down grigors is slow and not comfortable on puck wando is a far better defender at this level so would not want him to remain in lineup Adamsen is a big body but got less ice time tonight so harder to aseess but so far nothing has stood out If we look a5 last years d Pinkston for young is ok but nothing special Aarsen for Moyer is ok but nothing special Stoflet for Jorgensen is ok but nothing special The trialists are not as good as birzins So we need two import d men in soon

Getting a wee bit concerned about lack of forward output from the much touted "talent" up front. Hopefully the Cork will pop for our regular season start.

I don't go to friendlies I will wait and see how the guys play when it counts, but going by what I have read, I can't see where your concern with the forwards are, we know the ability of the Goat, schaber, Bloodoff and finucci and so far from the new forwards we have a goal from Crowder and Cazzola, and a MOM from Bulmer, they seems to be ticking along nicely for a group that has hardly had a training session together.

The forwards have the talent but need time to gel, McKenzie & Buesa will do well this year on the D front Pinkston and Stoflet look ok, Isaacs we know about no change there, Wando looking good but Adamsen and Grigors are woefull and not for the Flyers imo.

I think Stoflet and Pinkston have done ok actually
We do need a puck moving D man tht can help with our transition that will benefit the forwards. Our balance isnt there yet.
Someone needs to organise the D and run the PP, putting 5 forwards on for the PP will not work long term.
I think Pinkston is a really smooth skater and on Thursday I thought he looked calm on the puck and he does look like he has a shot on him.
Stoflet I think has looked solid, he has been trying to organise the D when he is on and I think you have to feel a bit for them both at the moment because they look like they re trying to keep Grigors and Adamsen on script and compensating for those twos poor ability

Id honestly just punt that Adamsen home right now, he has nothing good about his game which is a shame because i was hoping he’d be a decent option

None of the trial guys have a future with us but the coaches given them opportunities but not good enough Manitoba got thrashed in Belfast last night It’s teams like Belfast we need to beat We need to get our 5 d on the ice Owen has kept both scores respectable listing to Dutes Owen not on ice in summer the guy is quality keeper

Not seen the team yet, will in a few hours, one thing to remember its takes time for guys to settle into a new team, teammates, town, country etc etc. we are 2 import defence short Aarssen will make a big difference when he gets in. He is more like Moyer and will bring stability to our blueline. Young's replacement is a key signing, we need that first line guy who leads the way.
These games are the time for trials rookies and new imports to all get settled in and match fitness ahead off the new season. the trial players if they dont cut it fine no big issue but (and this bit is key) we are not forcing our other imports to play to much to early or our younger local guys to be on the ice to much. Trying these guys out now is 100% the right thing to do.
As always at this time of the pre season give the guys a chance the real stuff doesnt start for a few weeks.
