Thing I like about this guy is that even though he has spent most of his career in the CHL, he can handle playing in a higher league. |

What would your reaction have been if we had signed Jordan Krestanovich to replace Sproat? I would say i'm suprised we didn't, he played at the same team as Jade & Corey 2004-2005, Pensacola Ice Pilots. Looking at his stats though, he sure knows a few EIHL players, past and present. Need a centre though, not another winger. in my opinion. |

I'm with you there, but if a good forward was available in any position, I personally wouldn't pass it up, we have Levers, Myers, Ryan & Lachowicz who are all able to play centre and although at times we do miss a top faceoff winning centre, we have managed without. So from the earlier question from ftm.. What would your reaction have been if we had signed Jordan Krestanovich to replace Sproat? ..I take it you would have been disappointed? |

Bates Bataglia............. Duke the dog told me. Are you serious? Signing this guy would be a sure sign of our intentions this year! Reckon he'd he be the leagues highest earner, hope this turns out to be true and that we are using all of our resources to bring a league title home! Obviously have to hope this guy hasn't slowed up to much over the years, but as has been said about previous players "class is permanent" |

I would like the replacement to be a better player than Sproat and to me his record is better so I think I would have been fairly pleased. |

Obviously have to hope this guy hasn't slowed up to much over the years, but as has been said about previous players "class is permanent" Indeed, 400 points between the NHL and AHL indicates he must be some player and at 34 is not ancient by any means. Can't see it happening though. |

Think the confusion of where he plays was probably down to the likes of HockeyDB who do have him down as a winger www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=45192 |

Can't see it happening though. The question that should be asked really though is how much we will actually have to spend on a new player. Trailing through the free agents lists there's plenty of decent players available, but you just daren't mention them just incase they could possibly be deemed out of our budget. |

He's gone, the club would not have announced it otherwise.

From watching sky last night they seemed to think the pressure is on us to get a top end signing judging by the type of players Belfast and Cardiff have just brought in. I think it is time to splash the cash and show we are serious about the league this year.
