What happens if we get injuries in defence? Can’t run 5 all season thats why im saying run a spare dman, so we obviously cant find a british defenceman so sign another import with the money we were going to use on a brit. Rotate 5 out of the 6 defencemen on a nightly basis. The only way round not being able to sign a capable british defenceman and gives us depth. We run 7 import forwards and for example Chase and Stadnyk get injured that means Jamieson and Krogh getting in the top 9 with potentially mckenzie in the top 6, something mckenzie hasnt been capable of doing for a few years now. it was also interesting what Dutes said in the comments in the Krogh release about being the last of the British forwards signed rather than the completion of the actual forward line up. Maybe im looking to much into it though

Only problem we have is Tam Muir won’t shell out for a spare. Peacock could jump up to 2nd line he might be getting a bit older but wouldn’t be completely out his depth.

Peacock could jump up to 2nd line he might be getting a bit older but wouldn’t be completely out his depth. yeah absolutely but something we’ve always struggled with is depth, so by adding Peacock it should really help IF we go 8 import forwards, if we go 7 its just having the same issue as we have in previous years. I think it would be daft to forfeit a potentially crucial import forward for a 5/6th defenceman

I just have a feeling we are a very young squad and I fear the other teams will use that against us push us around lay in big hits and cheap shots. I just our boys to be good to gel and have a good season but I don't know if it will happen

I just our boys to be good to gel and have a good season but I don't know if it will happen I fear for Shane Owen, there no players to protect him, can see Clan, Stars and Storm taking advantage of this, crashing the crease at every opportunity knowing they will get away with it without any repercussion, can't blame them it will be the way to beat Fife and finnerty will know it better than anybody

Nobody has seen these players yet Give them a chance Last time I looked fighting never wins games Putting pucks in the net does Opposition Teams in the sin bin creates opportunities You are all the fighter you are going to be in early 20,s

Goalie gets hit let’s just stand and watch. Sorry but outside A few guys over ten years we have had soft teams and that’s cost us games. PP only work if you actually score on them, we sucked the last season. Your a decent sized forward you like to fore check. You skate into the corner and meet Fitzy. You’re not so keen the next time. That’s just hockey 101 intimidation is part of the game. If you think guys don’t play bigger with a Nickerson Fitzy Sol Louis Keefe on the team your so wrong it’s actually scary. Pure Enforcers are gone tough fighters are not. Our roster looks very light on paper in that side of the game. First game against a physical clan side will tell us a lot.

So we have Blumenschein in for the weekend, but no sign of a last d man, so wondering if they will keep a hold if Grigors for the foreseeable would at least give us 6 d, lives in Edinburgh can share a lift with Hutch.

I really enjoyed that interview ..... no surprises but nice to hear Todd talking frankly and answering some relevant questions the fans were wondering about. Hopefully a step towards for comms between club to the fans ![|8|](//storage.proboards.com/3536797/images/r1LyeTiUIWxSGPzjNJ7_.png)
