Totally agree, our import D have to be so much better this coming season or it just makes releasing Meyers seem all the more wasteful. |

I wouldn't mind Wilson. I hope we could get a bit better but he was strong at some parts of the season and for his first season here did relatively well. Maybe a second year here might help and then hoepfully become more consistent.
This is not saying I want him back over anyone, just that if he did I hope he plays like the flashes he showed last season.

Penner won't be back, the days of a full on enforcer have gone thanks to awful reffing from the likes of Carson.

If we re-sign wilson it will prove to me that neilson has not got a clue how to recruit a title winning squad, we need a big upgrade on last seasons import d

i can't believe the slating Wilson gets on here. he is a solid tough D man... he may not have the size everyone asks for, or throw HUGE hits, but he keeps people to the outside.
Part of the reason he doesn't stand out as a player is because he is not flash, and thats exactly what a D man should do. like Nick Toneys, he went mainly un noticed which means he's doing his job.
fair play he made some mistakes but so did meyers, corey, Lee. i'd be happy to see a return for Leppine and Wilson, and another D man.
I think our goals against last year was relatively low. Thats not all down to K wall.

Other recruitment negotiations are also making progress and at this time of year it could be that one of the other potential recruits will overtake the "verbal agreement" and be ready for release first but we'll just have to wait and see how things pan out.
ok then, so looks like 2 players are on the horizon. Fox and Francis for me

+1 Lee, for a newcomer and a fairly young guy he has time to adapt to our league and improve again this season. (just like Lepine did) Lets not forget also that Corey was also trying different things with the D last season and had some of them playing a different tactic which sometimes didnt work. Would like Foxy back but with his wife now having a job at home he may well decide to stay put.
I've got DAB, Benny & Franny as returnees.

+1 Lee. Posted something similar on the rumours thread a few weeks back. Most underated player last season. Some people let a FEW early season mistakes taint their view for the rest of the season. Still want to see a top quality Dman added to Lepine & Wilson though.

As long as Brock is our number 3 or number 4 d man i'd be okay with him coming back.

Would definitely have Fox back but I don't really want Wilson. I think we could do better and should be looking for D men with AHL games.

I think our goals against last year was relatively low. Thats not all down to K wall. Fair enough there are two opinions on Brock but whilst he tried hard I thought he was one of the poorest import D men we've had for a good few years. Never seemed to win enough board battles for me and turned the puck over way too much for a guy in the same defence as Neilson. If you are going to have Neilson (and now Weaver) in your D you can't, in my opinion, afford to have someone of Wilson's quality as well. He's just not solid enough for a top end team. No slight on his effort at all, he gave his all and for that he should be commended but the brutal truth is he isn't good enough. |

He was poor I heard if we want Fox we have to have Wilson, sucks if true If thats the case i rather go without both and try and find a suitable replacement for Fox. Wilson is an average D-man who made more basic errors than most at the back. People can say all they want about how improved our D was last season but this was largely down to massively improved tactics with regards to our two-way play from our forwards! Which is why im hoping this signing news turns out to be Matt Francis....... Hell, I even think I saw David Clarke cross the blue line a couple of times last season.  |
