I don’t want to knock the guys we’ve signed, it’s not their fault and to be honest we need 5/6 of these guys to fill the third line and play a part on the 2nd, but we don’t have a single players bar Chase (arguably) that based on their CV would play on the top line for any other team in the league. I’m sure a couple will turn out to be gems, but you can also bet your house a couple of them will be way out their depth. My hunch is we’re gonna be the whipping boys this year.

Dont get it at all. Lazy recruitment. Sign every import under the age of 30 apart from a defenceman whos really not good enough. Defensively we look poor, again. to me this signing means we cant sign any toughness in defence now. We need a high end defenceman who can eat up alot of minutes and this means no Mike McKee.

Cba. One way to make you even less excited for the season already if that’s even possible . Hoping Issacs is the spare import but doubt it.

4 import defenceman all with european passports, money is clearly an issue within this club. Absolutely baffling recruitment

“He is a very versatile player for us with the capability of playing forward and in defence.”
Todd saying that, here’s hoping we go with 15 imports and he’s the spare. Won’t hold my breath though

James ******* Isaacs.
The only man that seems to have the same job security as Todd.
The least he could do is come back in shape and not the size of a rhino.
Unless we've got a couple of power forwards capable of sticking up for themselves and the team, I can't see this season going well. Tried to be optimistic but even I'm struggling now...

The people within really have no understanding of the fanbase. Isaacs coming back to Fife is not the worst signing if it’s announced week 1. We need some level of continuity and he knows the league and is a solid player. Having said that we announce him 1 week prior to the Dundee game we still have no British D Man announced and we still have big positions to fill.
Given the league we must hope and pray he is a 15th import. He is versatile and is a solid 6/7 out of 10 each night. But he is not a match winner and is purely a role player.
Hopefully we get a signing a day until Dundee. But that is said with little to no confidence that will be the case, ice is down team should be here this weekend.
The owners must go or we must appoint a GM with some ambition.

Its not for me Emmerdahl was one of our best players as bud isaacs has been around long enough for us to know that he brings maximum effort every night. Our troubles last season was lack of puck moving dmen and the forwards couldn’t score.
