As it says really. I've done these polls before but just wondering now the squad has been complete, which player are you looking forward to seeing for the first time in the Black and Gold.
For me, its Galivan. Having seen some youtube clips and read up on him, he could very have the points production of DAB.

I remember posting on the thread when we signed Galivan that he lookes like a player much from the same mould as Beau.

i know this is sitting on the fence - and for the record i voted Graham - but all of them.
i think this is the deepest and most balanced squad we've had for a while. but mostly looking forward to see Graham. Allen Americans fans said he has silky soft hands (similar to Foxy) and will score goals which you will wonder how he managed it. it players like this i pay to see, so he could be as devastating as Foxy was last year.
Also Eric Werner, a smaller Dman than we're used to, but with good experience and a decent write up, could be an unsung hero i feel if his desciption of puck moving, good skating hard hitting play will make him a bit of a favouite in the black and gold.
finally David Ling. Much has been made about this signing but if hes as good as he was last year he should be in the top 5 point scorers in the league. Chirpy nasty players who score points are often my favourite, so i think this guy could well fit the bill, an exciting prospect

I could have voted for any of them to be honest. They all look like good players in their own right.
In the end I had to vote for Ling. His CV is just quality. I'm hoping that he is more skillful than Galbraith and more Bruce than Bruce Richardson. He could well light the league up and hopefully make some important plays for us in key situations.

Im going for Weaver, after all the hype and controversy I am interested to see him play for us, and see what the fans reaction is.
If he is over his knee troubles he could be very good, on such a strong D he may play less minutes than when he was at Blaze so his form could improve as a result of that

Well done me. ;D Great comments FTM.  Good thread. Fox for me. Mainly because of his ECHL numbers. He should be a cracking player in this league.
Also looking forward to seeing Francis as I think he will be all action, pretty quick and I think he will score a decent number of goals for us. |
