I think it is impossible to judge these guys. Either they are going to be keen and hungry or they are going to be out their depths, we’ll just have to wait and see. I find it quite refreshing to be honest but maybe I’m just drawing comparisons to when the Czechs came to town, although granted they were higher pedigree. My only worry is that if they do turn out to be a poor signing, that TD and the owners do their usual and stick by them till the seasons out.

Had a terrible few years with a recurring injury which meant he took a full season out to fully recover. Plays in hockeyettan last year so we know fitness or re injury isn’t a risk. His u20’s superelit stats are very good and as someone else mentioned, coming from Skelleftea academy he will be a good player. I think this guy could be a hell of a player.

Just watched the highlight video on facebook off him. Cross ice pass going past your body yet still one timing it high into the net while dropping to one knee. That’s a hell of a hard finish to pull off.
Plus he has terrific hands and clearly is so patient with the puck, yeah really liking the look of this guy.

Do you think Todd will sign another 2 Swede forwards to complete an IKEA line, It might just work

Do you think Todd will sign another 2 Swede forwards to complete an IKEA line, It might just work Wouldn’t mind if he did, like any player they have to fit into a team structure/style (hold any comments about our style) one misconception folk still have is swedes are just good skaters passers shooters etc Intelligent hockey players. All true BUT Swedish hockey is also very physical and that’s the bit most don’t get. Don’t think for a second these guys can’t hit watch the SHL it’s a very physical league. They don’t fight much but they remain controlled when **** starts to fly. See my comment about fitting into our style! A mix with NA guys and experienced Brits has the look of a good team. Still need a few willing face punchers though.

Isaacs not signed yet! Finucci, Gauthier & Shaber not returning either. Fife have went for low maintenance players and on paper no tough guys. I fear the players are going to get bounced all over the ice. Also heard they are struggling to recruit guys and the off ice is still a disaster run by the clique.

I’d heard most of the team is sorted.

So I’ve been hearing mutterings similar, not to the extend of struggling to sign players but that the budget is way lower than previous seasons and that we won’t see anything higher calibre than what’s been announced at the moment, could be all rubbish though I suppose.
