Finucci signs for Cortina in Italy. Not gonna be popular with this ..........glad he aint coming back. Never got the fandom for him, I know I know I'll get crucified for it but I watched him throw the puck away to often when he thought he was going to get hit. 23rd all time for the flyers (EIHL) in PPG. That says far more than being top for points which is only because he has played more games than every other import bar one (Danny Stewart). Top of the PPG list Casey Haines similar physical stature yet a vastly better player. For a moment I was thinking Power Play Goals - just couldn't see how that made sense I might have been slightly more charitable and say he's joint 21st along with Fleming and Fox There are probably 5 outliers in the 20 better than him - guys that only played part seasons. Good though that someone else has stats that I agree with - doesn't happen much Anyhoo - I'd suggest that it was probably time for a change - he had some really glaring aspects of his game that were hard to watch sometimes, these have been mentioned, he had a bit of durability (which was why he's avoid getting hit) for his size and good job or not was also out on the PK. I'd phrase it differently - I'm not glad he's not coming back but I'm not unhappy he aint. He's still the Top scorer in Flyers EIHL history whatever way you want to cut it - in the same way that Howe is the Red Wings top scorer despite Marcel Dionne (who only played 20% ish of the games played by Howe and Yzerman) and Stevie Y having a better PPG - now that's a debate worth having

Leafs fan here Rossco Ive got enough debate going on with that lot to last the rest of my life Fleming now he was underrated, thought he was excellent for us. Edit:Mr Hockey before those other bums

It's unfair how some people get dealt a bum hand with their teams huh - someone else is likely to chime in here I feel I liked Fleming a lot too - he played the game the right way - never have to be the flashiest - he was consistent night in night out. He was an NCAA grad - we have 3 in the team (so far) this year - guys that go through the college route I think are fairly solid all round.

Top of the PPG list Casey Haines similar physical stature yet a vastly better player. League is hands down a better caliber the last 5 seasons than it was when guys like Haines and Fleming played. For example only 13 players had a ppg or better during the last eihl Covid stopped season. And 40 players had a ppg or better the season Casey Haines played in. Not everyoneâs cup of tea I get that but he was a loyal servant and we donât see that much these days. Played half his time with us with line mates like Scoon, isaacs( when used as forward, Gunn. Zero pp time I reckon his first season coming from a low league still scored 20 goals I believe. Was solid on pk for an offensive guy. Lead the team in scoring the conference winning season. Scored some big clutch goals. Seemed like a nice chap and did well interacting with fans. I guess im one of the ones that wonât be âgladâ he left as you said. Did more good than harm for the club and hope we can replace him with someone that can put numbers up like he did for not just this season but want to stay at the club as well.

Love this signing ! Thing for me is heâs just turned 26 this year so will be coming into his best years now, weâre getting a guy whoâs young and hungry to win, nice shot and good hands too by the looks off it ! Experienced too with over 100 AHL games and proven goal scorer in the ECHL! looking forward to seeing him play in the blue white and gold keep them coming
