happy with a third of a defence that finished comfortably last in the previous season? 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. you could give as much effort each night as you want but you’ve got to have the skill to back it up. He is maybe elite league as far as efforts concerned but not elite league as far as skills concerned

And I’m done. Not giving any money over, unless they pull out some top drawer signings over the weekend. Less than a week now until first game and still what four to sign.
Who exactly will our other Brit? Watch us not bother and run 3 lines and sit young Scott game after game.
Pathetic
Apathy well and truly has a grip on this fanbase.

Not saying he’s the best player in the world but it is what it is don’t think he’s the worst possible signing we could make.

You tell me. there isn’t any, we’d be aswell going 5 import defenceman and no brit if theres none available rather than only 7 import forwards. The club simply dont have the quality in their british depth upfront to run an import shorter

The club simply dont have the quality in their british depth upfront to run an import shorter Jack Musil is still available. Not top six but better than playing a player short. Peacock could even move up he’s played 2nd line before. We should just wait until the rosters complete and had a few games under their belts before writing this group off.

Oh im not writing the team off at all. Peacock hasnt been good enough to play top 6 for about 5 seasons now, he’s not going to magically find a spark back into the player he once was. Is he a good brit depth scoring signing? Yes absolutely. The way i picture it is if we go 7 import forwards and two players take injuries upfront, we suddenly become down to bare bones. Mckenzie nowadays is no more than a 4th liner so cant step up and produce offensively and Jamieson probably isnt ready to step up and produce at this level yet. I think it’s imperative we go 8 import forwards and keep the depth to a decent level upfront rather than sacrificing a 5/6 dman for someone that could be crucial upfront

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... Sorry, but having worked with this guy...you want him on your team! James Isaacs is the most under - rated player fans and teams seem to give credit too. this guy never misses a game, puts his body on the line and gives a sh*t about the team he plays with! He will give you 110% every bloody night, but here you all are slating him before the puck is dropped. Normally I'd sit and laugh at some of the comments that are posted on social media, but a guy like James Isaacs deserves a bit more respect from the fans at a club he cares about and works his bollocks off for! Well done Jimmy on picking up a spot at fife. I wish you every success, because you deserve it for what you do for the club, team mates and fans a like! Great to see you back in the UK.
