Looking at his stats what's stands out? Seen some YouTube videos too, all action, energy forward who will stand up for teammates if necessary. Don’t think we’d be lacking entertainment at home games 😂 chipped in with points this year too… Yeah just realised after I posted what he was all about.. get him in .. should entertain if nothing else . Need more characters

Bringing him is more likely than bringing in hunt (which they initially did) based on stats

We are more likely to sign powder puffs like Tousignant or Sorenson.
Watched some of his stuff on Youtube with tears running down my face laughing. The Frenchman would be in adult nappies in a month.

We’ve had proper tough guys before, maybe we can again?

Would certainly make things a bit more entertaining! Be surprised if it happends but you never know We'd need one hell of a PK squad if he did come! Not to mention a busy DOPS!! Not sure I see it happening. Someone with his hits and willing to stick up for your team is a must but comes across as a bit of a lose cannon/suspension liability - especially for a franchise like ours. He'd be getting supplemental discipline left right and centre I fear. Especially in the EIHL Hitting fans is never going to result in anything less than the 14 game ban he got, then a 7 game only months later for kneeing and being a "multiple repeat offender" - so we'd have to accept that we'd risk be playing without him for long spells as well. By my calculations he had either 8 or nine suspensions just in juniors. Infact he sat out more games (36) than he scored goals in his 203 game junior career. So he was suspended nearly 1 in 5 games!! Unless he's calmed a bit after making his rep now (though he still had 190PM with Allen this year and multiple suspensions) I'd rather we signed someone who played with the same edge but with a bit more "control" about it. Though his improved point production this past year seems to show he's adding more to his game.

You can't have entertainers like him and not take penalties... And "need a good PK unit" !

Two years of trying to sign ‘nice guys’…could see this guy excelling in Orange as they’d worship him! Would love to see him in the black and gold. Talk about hockey as an entertainment industry is cheap if you sign a passive team of non checkers.

Get him in, and then get another couple more in too while you’re at it. Every team should have at least 2/3 of these guys, there to ruffle feathers, upset the skilled guys, and do whatever it take (underhand or not) to win - something we had exactly zero of last season.
Of course there is a need for the flair/skill of other players but these players create the space that they need and give them the confidence knowing if they try something, they won’t get their head taken off by the opposition.
I’ve said this for the last few years but if we can win and be entertaining, that’s the perfect formula, but, just like last year, if we can’t win then at least be entertaining. Last year was dull as dishwater and it’s about time we had a character or 2 in our ranks again.
If it’s any consolation the bans are now against the players themselves and not the team so carry a spare import and we’ll cope

There is a rumour page on twitter that has David Levin to join Sheffield. Not sure how reliable it is though.

This is all very true and certainly valid points but if we were to be crap again which is certainly possible at least he would add a bit of entertainment Oh for sure he would! 😃 But if we're going to be that crap again I'm not sure who'll still be watching. We definitely need some hitters and grinders (it's one thing we sorely missed this year!) just not convinced that one who has a pretty good chance of getting a ban after the signing deadline would be the sensible option. Someone with all his passion and skills, but a little more ability to control the red mist and I'm sold. Otherwise can see teams targeting him knowing he'll react and get kicked out of the game at the very least. Having a hand grenade of a player to lob into a game is a bonus in my book, but one that teams could so easily make explode to our own detriment and I'm less convinced

You can't have entertainers like him and not take penalties... And "need a good PK unit" ! Of course not Pidge. But there's a difference between taking a penalty that swings the game in our favour as a result of the effect on the opposition and taking a penalty needlessly that tips the game in the opposition's favour surely? Get the opposition nervous about getting hit. That's a win for us and worth the penalty. Having the opposition know that the player is likely always to be one and done for the game and maybe going to miss their next game with us as well if the get him to react enough? That's a win for them

If they get the signings right there's no way we should need to make sure enough changes to hit the limit again but I'd take his skill set and attitude with less of a hair trigger personally.

What length of ban would Kelsey Wilson get nowadays.His action at Sheffield 'sent a message' but would probably get a much lengthier ban, costing us an import slot etc. You would have to be so careful if signing a role player like that, they have to know their limits.
