The strength of this signing hinges on who else we bring in tbh. Last year showed he isn't the guy to carry our defence like Moyer or Young but if we can get a couple of stand outs like them Aarssen can be a solid enough player to go alongside. Agree we need at least one big unit at the back as well.

Can't get excited about this signing, very average player, not up to the caliber of some of the forwards now in the league, doesn't bring play forward with confidence and very light on the boards and in front of net...... in my opinion. But its more than that Read what Paul Dixon has said about the people you have in your room eliteleague.co.uk/2019/07/21/summer-catch-up-paul-dixon/Dutes quotes similar in the bit of PR which i will say again was nice to see

He is a cleaner in Asda. He has lots of character and off ice personality. Forever doing impressions, cracking jokes and whistling 80's tunes. Would he make a good signing? Reckons that had the flyers signed him last season that they wouldn't have had a problem with their defence. I'm not so convinced.

Used to be a top defender in the league, unfortunately now he’s very very average at best, if we bring in 4 high quality D men he would do a job on the 3rd line and occasionally on special teams, but we all know he will be a top 4 d man for us, not terrible but not good.

I agree...he is coming to the end of career, and it shows, the hunger and that bit extra effort was not there last season.

As long as he’s the old head on the d and the rest are younger, hungrier players with a bit of size then he will be a good signing.

You guys are saying exactly what I am trying to say. Last year we had a great attacking set. But they spent all their ice time defending or backing up the defence that they couldn’t do their job properly. Bringing in a Young or Moyer type player would strengthen the core but I would like to see some authority in front of the goals. Someone who will move the slot man away from the front of the net. Put him on his #### instead of watching. We gave too many goals away last year with them “running” the goalie. Saying this I would also love to see players in front of the opposition goals trying to blind side their goals. We have a reputation of trying to play the puck into their net rather than having someone in their slot.

Scott is a good solid signing and as others have said it does depend on who else we sign that will show how good.
Young Sam will learn a heck off a lot from scotty that alone makes this a good idea.
Big issue like any import signing we make is over playing the imports, until that is fixed doesn’t really matter who we sign.

The Brits we have signed so far should be used regular they have the ability to do that, Smith can hopefully show he is worth a regular shift if he gets the chance

The Brits we have signed so far should be used regular they have the ability to do that, Smith can hopefully show he is worth a regular shift if he gets the chance We need to be playing 4 forward lines 6 d-men and PP and PK teams. Controlling the mins guys play is key for maintaining a high standard that lasts all season.
