Would agree with Basaraba in that he is a very cultured player. Great range of passing and some very deft finishes at crucial times.
Probably took a while to work out how best to play him and will never be a physical presence. Think TD liked him and it will depend on his course at Abertay if he is due back. If he did, I would be quite happy.
I would have the Paul Crowder that started the season. He came out of the traps with a point to prove and teams couldn't cope with his line. Not sure if it was injury or anything else but always suspected that's who Todd was meaning when he said we were switching off. Not just a game winner but a season changer if he is on it.
I would hope we get the bulk of the forwards sorted quickly and mostly from current stock. Then spend the time building the defence. Aarsen and Stoflet were ok but think we can only have 1 from those.
Pinkston is a bolt on definite return but if he was to do something crazy like sign for the Clan I will say I've never rated him.
Ian Young, or a clone of him would be huge, as would a leader in the Moyer mould.
Andy Iles or Shane Owen for NM.

We should be doing everything possible to sign Craig Moore for next season. I would like to see all the brits back along with the addition of Cownie from Dundee. Of the imports I would cut Stoflet, Aarssen, Basara and Basaraba, there is no doubt that Basaraba can play, as he has shown in the home stretch, but he absolutely stole a wage in too many games when he looked totally disinterested.

Brit wise, we seem to be sorted forward wise, although in kihc Scott Jamieson and Garry Simpson are arguably better players than Chad and caly. D wise Craig Moore was better than some of our imports, wando will he be back id argue that perhaps there are better coming through, but again the best d man in kihc appears to be overlooked, Marty Simpson is head and shoulders above the rest even Reece, he has the size physicality and offensive side to his game, Liam Danskin is also a very sound stay at home d man these boys need to be slotted in! If flyers try to actually blood all these boys 4 line hockey at least up front is easily achieveable.

Import wise, Owen there's no better. I'd keep pinkston, Isaacs, and add then proper size and offence. Forwards Gauthier, cazzola, bulmer are a must, Crowder be good, but I think that perhaps bloidiff, schaber may have seen their best here finucci too, basaraba is a luxury, and basara not quite at the level but to be honest neither is Isaacs so wouldn't be end if world if he came back, sure they cheaper allowing better squad depth? We need a wee bit more size and someone else willing to step up, as Gauthier is too good to lose to fighting the amount he's done this season.

I'm thinking Moore will be on move to the clan as a replacement for Sullivan, would not surprise me if it's a done deal. Why would clan release him if they don't have a replacement.

Not sure if Moore may even be going back to Devils He would also probably choose Fife ahead of the Clan His home team and I would say Clan are no bigger than Fife Flyers

Granted they should all be given the opportunity though but thats not going to happen any time soon with current set up.

Was reliably informed by a Clan fan who is no blether believes they have signed Killeen from MK. Craig Moore will stay at Kirkcaldy. Sullivan seems to be headed for MK where he came from.
Tim Wallace & Robbie Baillargeon would be good pick-ups from MK in my opinion.

Craig moore away to clan done deal. Sullivan coming to fife as wands is hanging them up. I’m sure Owen looking at his options within the league and elsewhere in europe after another strong season. Would keep:
Reasonables: Schaber Finucci bloodoff gauthier buesa Mackenzie aarsen Isaacs
Bullmer, but I doubt he will stay here or this league, and crowder if he can recover from his injuries and bring his brother.
Pinkston heard he is possibly retiring because of the injury ?? stoflet scary post concussion situation. People keep bringing up young but he is finished with hockey but someone like him would be amazing.
