I reckon it will be rotational between Isaacs and Grigors for the spare slot once our Moyer replacement is here. I reckon that's still a work in progress, and Im guessing they must've had the spare import situation worked out before we got Moyers final decision. Not claiming to be 'in the know' or anything but just guess work as that's all that seems to be happening right now, as we've not really had much clear cut answers from the coaching staff, as of late.

I'm pretty sure Grigors has a decent job outside of hockey in Livingston, so a pay-as-you-play deal may not be out of the question. A spare import but not in the conventional sense.
Andrew Hotham or Mathieu Gagnon to fill Russ's slot would do me just fine.
4 line hockey could be a distinct possibility, if the Brits are utilised properly.

Loving the optimism about a first line d man signing, but if we are signing Grigors then he will be in the 14! We will look at signing a 15th at Christmas!

You have to think Little as backup NM. Personally, I feel that if we are going with a spare then that man should be Isaacs. He can go up and down the line up and gives his all but talent wise is probably a little short compared to the rest of the team. His flexibility and work ethic makes him the perfect spare man and I reckon he would end up playing close to 40/45 games from that position. Grigors is not the signing we should be looking at long-term in my opinion. Would rather they brought Ricky in on a trial/cover if going down that route Also rumours about an import NM so potentially could be Little and this new NM. Guess we will see at 18.00. If you sign a spare import you choose whatever 14 of the 15 you want to play for each particular game, you don't specifically name a more suitable spare. I know how to work a healthy scratch but that is much more apparent when you have players of a different skill set. My point is Isaacs would not replace any of the forwards unless they were injured because of his skill set and defensively would likely not replace anyone because he does not have any real variation in his game or offer anything different to the guys. It’s not like he’s an enforcer you are only going to play against certain teams or a cavalier offensive D man. I think there is little to no chance Grigors will be anything other than a Spare. Hutchy was quite forthcoming in the fact that he wanted to replace Moyer with someone of a similar standard and no disrespect Grigors is nowhere near the level of Moyer
