So with 3 import D (i hope!) left to sign, and what seems all the forwards signed, unless we can tempt Matty Myers back from over the border, whats everyones opinions on potential line ups for the coming season (hypothetically obviously)
Kowalski Green
Lee Import Import Import Ward Mosey Oakford
Benedict Graham Higgins Jacina Lawrence Clarke Farmer Parent Lacho Boxill

I really don't think Oakford would have made the move to be 7th D man.

(Not playing in this order obviously but..)
Graham - Benedict - Higgins = "The GBH Line". Dishing out the damage...
(If you're reading Gary, you can have that one).

Got a felling we have another Forward to sign and will go with 4 import D plus Lee and Oakford

I think we'll be mad to not try and get Myers and roll out 4 lines

I am hoping for four lines, I think we probably need our last Import forward to be able to fight a little as well, we seem a little light on that at the moment.

Four lines doesn't work in this league, because there as so many power play and penalty kill situations, it doesn't give the forth line enough ice time to make the man advantage work.

I'm liking the line up apart from perhaps jacina think he could have been upgraded but I'm looking to be proved wrong, as for toughness think that might fall into the hands on Parent or Lawrence and they've both been said to tough but only time will tell, maybe Corey has an incoming D to punch people and Oakford to cover when he does so? I'm hoping for a salters/king to sign as last forward but doubtful, I did hear that Crosby said and I quote "the Stanley Cup is small time compared to the EIHL challenge cup and playoffs, that's the one every pro hockey player wants, that's our ultimate prize" ?

Would have though it would be one forward sniper to sign & 2 stay at home d-men (one of which is a tough no nonsense type plus a good fighter).
Any chance of a spare import, as will probly of picked up injuries before the Elite League gets underway...

Hasnt worked because no team so far has had the manpower to run it. If we can entice Myers back from Cardiff it would mean playing Betteridge (who i feel has improved no end), bringing in another kid such as Oakie or spotting one of the imports from other 3 lines, either way i think this is definitely doable IN MY OPINION.

Definitely doable and would love Betteridge to be giving chance of more ice time

He had a shot in the AHL last season so I think he will try that again. But there is the chance to play in the CHL which might interest him to get a shot in Europe ?

Corey's requirements were for a mobile defence and toughness in the forwards. With (presumably) 2 Defence and 1 Forward to sign, I still personally feel he's lacking a out-an-out goal scorer. Combining this with someone who will drop the gloves will cost a fair whack so Corey may well turn to a Lepine type player to cover this role thus keeping his options open. Just a theory, but I would love to see him back.

In my opinion he's had a good year and got called up the AHL I think he'd be silly to come back as he may get the same opportunity next year. I think that Lawrence and parent will be looked at for our toughness, unless we get king/salters then we can just go and get 2 solid big d men

In Corey's recent radio interview he spoke about his 3 big centre's. We also have 3 right wingers in the squad so it sounds like the forward lines are fairly well set. For domestic competition anyway.

BENEDICT GRAHAM HIGGINSLACHO LAWRENCE JACINAFARMER PARENT CLARKE BOXILL I'd hazard a guess as to saw we're looking for another Forward, and do something similar towhat we did a few seasons a go and go with 4 lines, but rotate the centres to fill in on the 4th line, which would give us Kowalski Green Lee Wild Schmidt Mosey Ward Oakford Benedict Graham Higgins Jacina Lawrence Clarke Farmer Parent Lacho Boxill (BG/CL/MP) Import

CN said the forwards are done and that he is after 1 more D man. Presumably a left shot.
