Farmer is not going to improve on last seasons goal tally being on the checking line, he's a better player than that! Would Nikiforuk be the main center guy on the PP unit and Moran on the 2nd unit? I agree, Farmer was wrongly utilised last year. Hence his drop in point production.

I agree, Farmer was wrongly utilised last year. Hence his drop in point production. Im not sure id say wrong. He had a different role. He was effective on that checking line and caused teams all sorts of trouble. He was started on a line with kolnik and moran but only got 1 point from 9 games. I do trust him to get more points than Lacho. But putting Lacho in his place would be pointless.

Farmer is either an agitater or a point scorer not both. He is too easily wound up and when he has his mind on other things he goes AWAOL

Coventry have added another Dman who is used to dropping the gloves, I do hope that our last dman has a bit of aggression and can help Cam to enforce, Lepine would be perfect but anyone similar is vital personally

I honestly think if we signed Lepine we could feasibly be considered favourites.

lepine mold would be perfect. I honestly think if we signed Lepine we could feasibly be considered favourites. It would be close with Cardiff. But our defense would possibly be the best the Eihl has ever had. On paper of course. And defense wins championships so they say.

Well with Cam gone now unless we pull two absolutely top drawer signings out of the bag I'm already writing this season off. Wrong i know but i just don't feel that on paper we are matching up to our competitors. I shall hope to be proved wrong!

Wrong i know but i just don't feel that on paper we are matching up to our competitors. I shall hope to be proved wrong! I entirely agree with you. Before we found out about Cam leaving I had little confidence. The other teams have upgraded and left us behind. Of course the last 2 signings could be amazing but based on previous years my expectations are not high. My hope for this season is that we're entertaining as I really don't see us challenging for trophies.

5 Imports in Nottingham so far. The Three Amigo's, Lindhagen & Wiikman. Farms, Clarke, Oakford and Green obviously in the Area too, Lee & Lachowicz are still MIA and have been for some years now.
Joking aside, there's plenty of options out there for Enforcers, North America is crawling with washed up Enforcers looking for a final destination to utilize their abilities. The defenceman is the important signing, Enforcer isn't an imediate requirement though very important to get in by the end of September. We'll likely start the season short but there's plenty of time before the 1st league game (a month).
I'm still happy with the roster and looking forward to which ever incompetant official we get, dropping the puck in 8 days time.

Any news on how's Even Mosey's try out is going, Could he be available soon? Training Camp won't start for another few weeks, he'll be with Blackhawks during that time and then head down to Rockford shortly after for Pre-Season (September) with the season commencing early October i assume. Can only imagine that if he completely flops or suffers a serious injury, that he'd be released. Hopefully he's back one day in the future though!

Last years team was seriously lacking leaders... It just lost its best one! God knows who'll be captain now.

Well by my reckoning they must have at least £2500 a week left to spend on two players. That's a lot of money in the EIHL where an average/decent import gets about £500 to £700 per week.
If they can't get an enforcer/tough forward and a really serious quality Dman for that then there is something badly badly wrong. They could afford to spend the kind of money on that last Dman that has not been spent before on any player anywhere in the EIHL.

If we're after Bordeleau as he's rumoured to have an offer from an Elite League team then i'd assume we'll have a substancial wad of cash unused. He'd be the highest paid import ever in the league so he'd be on potentially well over £1500 a week. Enforcer isn't the worry really, there's surplus amounts of them nowadays, Defenceman is the key part now. Need Lepine or similar, big, good on the skates and won't shy away from the rough stuff.

Wishful thinking as he is still quite young and played KHL last season but someone like Akim Aliu would be ideal, aggressive player who has decent offensive qualities and is also a bit of a utility player as he plays RW and D so would maybe adjust with Lindhagen if needed depending on who we're playing? www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=11116

Ouch.
