They clearly trialled him first since they mention how he's been in training before signing the contract. He has a British passport, he's available.

Sounds like they just needed a body to cover until the weekend? He likes the fact he can skate and shoot. Bonus if you’re chasing others around on the ice pad who are also skating. But can he pass? Seriously though, he’s seen him in training and thinks he could add depth in numbers just for this week - and then who knows? So why not. It does open the question that’s been raised many times elsewhere on here of whether you’re looking for a spare? I would hazard from this communication that you’re not currently doing so? As initially this is short term? For me, I’m glad we did otherwise we’d be down 2 right now! I think with a 60 game league season plus cup and playoff games carrying a spare for the top teams is a must. And if you’re Manchester then of course 3! 😂

I did want a spare,from the start of the season yes,to cover exactly this situation. And one of a calibre that puts pressure on the rest of the squad to perform. I simply cannot understand anybody’s reasoning why they defend the club for not having a spare import. Give me a valid reason why it wouldn’t be good to have one ?

Give me a valid reason why it wouldn’t be good to have one ? I would like a spare too. and we now, temporarily, have one. Much quicker than previous years too... (surprised you didn't make that comment ). My issue is as soon as we sign temporary cover, you wiped him off as 'not good enough'. Yes his stats are pretty much not there, and he may well be awful or he may be brilliant. But at least, for now, we have a spare. I suppose I'm a 'glass half full' type person and you're a 'glass half empty' and that is where our differences are. Wouldn't do us good to all be the same. But everyone agrees a spare is better than no spare.

I imagine Tyler will be be playing 4th line so we can run 4 regular lines, the only frustration is that we are missing Tim. It’s still going to be a close game, we need to get behind the boys tonight to give them a boost.

I've always said I'd like an extra import D and extra import F then pick the best squad every weekend with no-one guaranteed a place.

The old quantity v quality trade off. No doubt there is a fixed budget. Increase your import count from 14 to 15 or 16 and those additional wages will take away from what you can offer the first 14, which may result in downgrades.

Simple answer to that...increase your budget ! It’s not like we couldn’t afford it.

Off on a slight tangent, it will be interesting to see what the crowd is like tonight especially with Forest playing at home, it being midweek and also the match being on TV......

Simple answer to that.......increase your budget ! It’s not like we couldn’t afford it. … but it still comes down to 'budget+X' …. a £££number - and then the choice of 14 better skaters or 16 less of slightly lesser quality. You could also make an argument for going with less than 14 imports … but raising the calibre.

0-1 after 1, they're the better team but we had a few decent chances.

We grew into that period. Slow start though and Devils will always punish you if you're not on it.
