On face value, he looks a bit too much on the Kyle Hardy style that won’t suit this league and the first signing this off-season I’ve not been impressed by because of that.
However, GG has a clear plan in his mind and a certain player he wants, so Lagrone may well turn out to be a gem, of course I hope he does.

Not so sure on this signing unfortunately……
Maybe picked up a budget D man, to allow for Hammond to come in as he can’t be cheap?

To be fair pal, Hardy career has gone uphill since we seen him |

As a result of the latest signing, Steve Lee won't be back next season.

To be fair pal, Hardy career has gone uphill since we seen him He’s found his level in France if that’s what you mean, but my point was that he was completely unsuited to the EIHL and put in some poor performances (too small, didn’t like it physical at all and as a result became ineffective in his position). |

Long held (general) view of mine is the CV bit you put most weight on is the immediately previous season.
So, leaning less on France2 and the SPHL, he had a good last year in the ECHL. Good points, decent +/-, on a middling team. 10+20 overall, 2+7 on the PP, so possibly not the PP QB, but able to score 5 on 5, which always helps.
Leftfield, and kept a tight lid on (lots of people (Pies excepted) expecting Hammond, it seems) but some very good signs.
Bottom line, we'll be able to judge a bit better when he's played a few games.

I only got Duggie’s name hours before it was released. He was very well kept secret. I’d had lots of others talked about but his name was well kept.
I think for those in doubt, listen to GG and maybe we have to realise…we don’t know as much as the coach and maybe should have some faith.
