Going for the threepeat.
Exact same patern as last 2 years. Individually they'd all be fine playing the correct role with the correct jigsaw pieces around them but together we have 6/7 round pegs for 6 different shaped holes by the looks of it.
There will be plenty of positivity around the players signed but collectively it'll just be bland and tepid again. I'll put money on us being 4th-7th again.
Need top end players to bring the line up up to standard but instead we go to the conveyor belt of clones again.
Hope im proved wrong but another yawnfest incoming.

You can see it a mile off.. at least bring a forward in with some size.. how many is that who are 5'10 or under? |

We’ve got 7 forwards who are currently 5’11 and under which funnily enough is two less than Cardiff |

He’s not bottom 6. He was only 1 of 5 players that got over a PPG in the Danish league last season.
But our lack of size is worrying

Paredes has underestimated the league if he thinks a roster like this will challenge for honours |

We seem to be going down the same route as last year, When we brought ricci in it gave us that crash and bang upfront seem to make a difference untill he was moved to D. I’m not saying we want ricci, but we deffo need some 6”2/ 6”3 forwards who can throw themselves about and contribute on the scoreboard.
Clan brought in Michael Pelech, he is the type of player this team is crying out for!

We have carbon copies of the exact same player and they are all normally described the same fast or good team player or competes .suppose it makes the press release easier . All those things are great but from the looks of things we are extremely one dimensional and we seem to be a team of third linera. Like I said a while ago and got told I was wrong . Belfast Sheffield Cardiff and arguably a couple other teams still have a more to shout about and on paper we certainly look lightweight and games against more physical teams could see us coming away with injuries or seeing the players bullied all over the ice .

This team is 5th best at present and that's a push because I reckon clan could be decent this year |

So not seen him play, looked at his height and some have already judged him.
Those that pontificate on here, who don’t go to games, judge performances on seeing highlights on you tube or looking at stats on the game centre; why do they bother? Do they get a perverse pleasure from being antagonistic?

Paredes has underestimated the league if he thinks a roster like this will challenge for honours I agree that we look too small but this a ridiculous comment as no one knows how Panthers will play as we don’t know any of these players styles or how Paredes sets up his teams. Unless you’ve been an avid follower of Cergy-Pontoise in recent years… |

Interestingly our average height is greater than Belfast’s according to EP.
Though I think that is slightly skewed by a few outliers such as
Logan Neilson at 6’5
Tetlow at 6’6
Stojanovic at 6’6 and Robinson at 6’4 (both goalies)

Welcome to Westin. Not had much professional experience but as has already been mentioned, when he was able to put a good run of games together in Denmark he was 5th in points per game throughout the league.
Describes himself as a two-way centre, so hopefully he’s good at both ends of the ice and does genuinely provide some speed and tenacity through the middle.
I understand people are starting to become a bit concerned with the size of our forwards but I don’t think you need multiple physical players anymore. With our last two forwards I’d like us to sign two players who are similar to the likes of Mark Cooper and Ben Lake, that would balance the lines out nicely I feel.

And having to wait until you see them play before making a judgement Pidge? 😂 #PidgeBeingPidge hence why I just sit and wait for them to play before making judgment on them .. that goes for panther or non panthers player |

Not being on one side or the other in terms of the height or physicality of
the squad, according to Elite Prospects we are the 2nd tallest team in the league by just over .2 of a cm to Dundee (We were tallest this morning). I appreciate the goalies heights and weight may skew that somewhat.
Cardiff are apparently 3rd shortest currently.
We are also the 4th heaviest team in the league (Two of those teams being no more than about half a kg heavier).
Michauds stats in the Danish league aren't anything to write home about. Craig Puffer had similar stats in that league - but over 2 seasons - Look how he turned out.
Mchaud is also an ex team mate of both Bjorkung & Nieminen
For me all the players yet to be announced need to be top line players.
Hopefully one of the forwards is not Alexander Lonsjo, he is nowhere near good enough.

This whole argument about height is stupid until we’ve actually seen them play because we’ve had our fair share of smaller players who’ll battle with anyone but equally we’ve had plenty of tall players who were about as strong as a wet lettuce. Anyway for those who think we’re gonna get smashed every game, these are the amount forwards per team who are 5’11 and under:
Giants - 5
Devils - 9
Blaze - 3
Stars - 2
Flyers - 7
Clan - 8
Flames - 8
Storm - 6
Panthers - 8
Steelers - 4
