How can you let a player like Jade go? Hes been our highest point scorer for past 2 seasons. Only Brendan Cook (season 08/09) has scored more points than Jade since he has been here, and that was only by 3 points.
10/11 - 56 |28 | 65 | 93 (3rd overall in the Elite League) 09/10 - 56 | 20 | 57 | 77 (4th overall in the Elite League) 08/09 - 52 | 21 | 46 | 67 (8th overall in the Elite League)
And only Sean McAslan has scored more points than him in the past 8 years with 64 |40 | 54 | 94 but he played 8 more games than Jade this season.
Hes been getting better every year as you can see from his points. To get that many points also with playing along side two brits David Clarke and Matthew Myers who both reached their highest points this season. DC scores 1 per 10/15 shots so if he was paired up with an out and out sniper Jade could be the best in the league. You build a line around this guy and he will get you the goals.

Hasn't he got a better PPG rate than Pelle? No. According to the EIHL website, Pelle has a 1.77 PPG average, Jade has 1.66. Still pretty damned good, nonetheless. I wouldn't really say yes or no, Jade played 6 games less than Pelle: Pelle - 62 games - 110pts - 1.77ppg Galbraith - 56 games - 93pts - 1.66ppg Not that i'm saying he would/wouldn't have caught up with Pelle playing the 6 games needed to catch up, but you just never know.

Hasn't he got a better PPG rate than Pelle? No idea how you would check this stat out but I have always had the impression that Galbraith scores a far bigger proportion than most players of his points and assists in the games where we are hammering the opposition And more often goes missing in the bigger more important games which is where Leagues are won and lost I may be totally wrong but like I say he tends to shine when things are easy out there IMO (Having said that the one thing I will say about him is he is the only player we have I feel reasonably confident will put a penalty shot away)

Get rid of, yes he's got good stats but they could be 10 times better and he would be world class if he had the right attitude. Poor excuse for a sporting proffesional and represents everything that is wrong with this club. Please go...

Goalscorer Billy Ryan "My shots kept getting blocked and Jade (Galbraith) gave me piece of advice during the break and it worked."

I know of at least 2 occasions Jade has left the bench AFTER the goal has been scored and received an Assist.
Assists in this league are always wrong, especially second assists. the number I have seen given when its off a rebound or should be "no assist" defies belief.
For me, We can get equally as good, if not better.

He's a playmaker, who prefers playing on the wing but he won't go into the corners and fight it out, and his shifts are timed to precision, as is the head shaking as he is going off the ice. But he's one of the best stick handlers i've seen in the league, good on PP, and he's not so bad in a shoot out. It will probably come down to whoever is the new coach, and whether Jade fits into the plans. For me, if he stays it shouldn't be on high wages.

Release - awful second half of the season and an absolute liability in his own zone.

But Coach will know what goes on day to day, good points and bad, so Coachs choice. Thought Jade was pretty quiet at the playoffs, expected more from him.

I don't blame you or the Team on the bench, its more the "do I have to take my hands out of my pockets?" couldn't care less officiating we have here. Add to that, the goals are not analyzed to the Nth degree over here like in N/A.

Add to that, the goals are not analyzed to the Nth degree over here like in N/A. Well, I can't offer any proof, but I don't believe Galbraith would claim an assist on a goal scored while he was sat on the bench. Sorry, but I just don't. On the general point about claiming assists, it's done all the time by dozens of players from all the clubs, and contrary to what many may think the refs don't always give them.

MM lets see
goals = increase on previous season
assists = increase on previous season
Has helped this club become more successful in three seasons than it had been in the previous ten.
And is rumoured to like it here enough to want to finish his playing career here and rightfully has most fans loving him to iddy biddy bits.
does not take me a lot of time to make this decision.

Drinking and breaking a curfew the night before a game.... Does not take me a lot of time to make this decision either.

If he`s coming back then lets hope the Jade mk2 that turned up second season here arrives. He knows he let everyone down and if he can get his head right then he`s a weapon. If he does come back then surely it can only be to win the league,he`s got every other winners medal and he above all else should know what has to be done to get the elusive one.

Can't trust him to toe the line screwed us yet again in Belfast, loose cannon, pathetic infantile gestures on the ice, doesn't chase back many times, he coasts in games, he is a luxury we cannot afford to risk for yet another season of undisciplined behaviour! Figure you know which way I voted! He isn't the messiah but he is a very naughty boy!

77 points last year (when most thought he was great and described him as a different player). 93 points this year and 60% of the vote want him to go! Whilst it has been easier to pick up points this season Jade has increased more than many others over the previous season. Two cups and a summer of smiling and people still find so much to moan about.

If he does come back I think we should get a sports phycologist on the case or a hypnotist or someone who can bring out Jade 2.0 for a whole season.
We all know he should be ripping the league apart.
