All the talk last season of lack of goals saw only one team above us score more, and that was by a huge five goals.

The problem with the roster so far is goals.....or lack of ! Our three top scorers from last year were Kolnik,Bohmbach and Clarke. Anybody notice something quite significant and common to those three ? Don't forget the 2 attacking d men we are going to sign lol People are predicting settled lines, come on now stop messing. Well we don't appear to sign defensive D men, so you must be right. |

Lawrence i'd assume will revert to his 1st Season role and be a bit of a sniper, hopefully Corey places him at the top of the faceoff circle a bit more to rip some one-timers.
Schultz will be more than ready and should get back to his goalscoring ways
Brown.. Give him a chance and i can see him scoring 15-25 in the season.
Moran should do well again should get around 15, maybe a few more.
Mosey.. If he plays as a forward all season then 15-25 goals would be my guess, his speed is second to none and a season at the front will cause all kinds of trouble for opposing teams.
MacMillan, i'd hope we give him a chance to show off his skills, scored 11 last season and personally i feel he could get 15, or more and he has a lot of unused potential in my eyes.
Lachowicz, if he scores any less than 10.. P45.
Farmer and Janssen, perhaps 20-25 between them hopefully, we know Cam can do more than just hit and fight so hopefully he and Farmer are given more chances.
As long as we get one or 2 more forwards who can find the net, or are a prolific playmaker.. I feel we'll be fine. Get a offensive defenceman in the mould of Quick then that will be a huge boost. I don't think we should be expecting more from Dimmen, he was good and solid.. His stats are easy on the eyes over the last 3 years because he played in China, not a good league. This team has a lot of chemistry already, Brown's addition adds chemistry if anything too as he knows most imports. I'm happy with where we're going.

Have I missed something? When did Lawrence re-sign? My thoughts exactly, personally i see brown as a replacement for lawrence, in which case we have room for another grade A centre to set up schultz, hopefully kolnik back on a line with mosey and moran along with another sniper who we can rely on to replace bomber then 2 import attacking dmen with possibly another spare import dman whos solid at the back to rotate in when playing away from home and need to sure up the defence. |

Lawrence has the contract from Panthers, he's going to sign it but is having some time to himself before he does. Lawrence was likely to come back anyway but Brown signing for us made it a certainty for him, it's his bestfriend pretty much. I'm just hoping we get Clarke & Myers or suitable British replacements so we don't end up with just 2/3 British forwards, need as many import defencemen as possible. |

We need one of Clarke/Myers to return and probably Oakford as well if we are going to play four line hockey next season as Neilson is intending

In what world is a winger a replacement for a faceoff winning center? he can play all 3 forward positions... Plus i was more looking at the power forward role, lawrence played that for us last year really and could move up to top 6 forwards if required which is exactly what corey and brown had said? We dont need macmillan, lawrence and brown along with farmer, janssen and myers if he returns and all but lawrence of those are signed up. |

I said just before he signed I thought he'd be a wait and see player and that still stands. He could end up being great but only time will tell. However the balance of the forward lines is more of a concern. The reality is there are a lot of if buts and maybes at the momment. Until we sign rest it is hard to say what the balance is like. If we sign Lawerence, Myers & Clarke with Kolnik or a Kolnik type replacement then we do look light in the skills department(No Bohmer or Ling to start with). By know means are these players all the same but MacMillan, Brown, Farmer, Lawerence & Myers(IF signed) are all similar. Add Janssen to that and it deffinatly appears the balance of skill/physical is wrong. As others have said though Lawerence & Mac are capable of more production so would help but still lacks that magic man for me. It could of course be a case that Myers isn't returning meaning Mac plays centre more and Brown is more Macs replacement. Then we sign another highly skilled centre that replaces Bohmer. That would make a huge difference and give a completely different feel to the team. Really is a case of wait and see until the whole set are signed. 1 or 2 changes to what people are predicting and we could have a phenomenal forward line up(+ Lacho. Sorry had to get it in  ) |

Hockey IQ just tweeted
Congrats to @prohockeyiq member Jeff Brown on his new signing!! The @panthersihc just got one hell of a player!
More praise for him I'm thinking he will have a role like Kelsey Wilson.

From who we've signed so far I predict on the forward front we need two centres and two left wingers

You'd think he'd be a Kelsey Wilson-Leigh Salters type, depending on his role.. If he's given a much more physical and gritty role, there's the new Wilson. If he's given a shot on the 2nd line and allowed to use his offensive skills, there's the new Salters.
He's an exciting prospect from listening to his interview and the descriptions from former teammates and fans. He's got a lot he can bring to the table and he is incredibly eager to get started and settle down, i mean.. He's already been in contact with Brad Moran and other Uni Deal players to discuss what it's like and if they have any advice.. I think come September he's going to have a good bond with those who he doesn't know, and that's not that many of those on our roster.

A member of theirs getting a new team casts them in a good light.

Doubt anyone'll remember. Plays well to potential employers (we have good players), and to potential clients (one of ours got a job).
He could end up being brilliant, I dunno, but if we're not supposed to draw any conclusions from his modest stats, I'm not drawing any from a tweet by his agents.

If we're wanting to challenge then yes we will need all of them. If we want to dominate playing four line hockey we need to fill the bottom six with work horses. Having all of them gives us a massive advantage going deeper into the season and for special teams. It only makes sense to keep all of them, not expecting it to happen as players have paths they wish to take and our upper management don't use sense in carrying spares. |

Jeff Brown's on fire, your defence is terrified..... Nice song..... However, Jeff Brown sounds like a Painter & Decorator. Not a hockey player. Note I had the same issues playing goalie on NHL 15 with Brian Elliott (Plumber) & Craig Anderson (Landscape Gardener). I would have had trouble with Mike Smith (Insurance Salesman) but the Coyotes had such a pretty kit I didn't care. |
