To be fair, Jade was already mentioned on this thread so it's fair to talk about the fact his (apparent) departure creates a hole of 90 points to fill. I'd be very pleasantly suprised if any of our players this year manage the same tally. All I can say is Sheffield scored more than us last season without Jade in the team (and conceded a lot less) (and won the League) So why cant we do the same without Jade in the team ? If other teams can win the League for the last few seasons without Jade Galbraith in their team there is no reason we cant do the same

I wouldn't get too tied up over +/-, Gwinnett Gladiators had far, far worse +/- figures among many of its players those seasons, I reckon he was pulled down at little by others. It's a team game remember. Billy Ryan was -8 in 22 games and -3 in 12 before he arrived in Nottingham and he did ok. Also, he plays PK which will hurt +/- You don't get a '-' if you get scored against if you are on a PK and no '+' if you score whilst on the PP. You do get a '-' if you concede a goal on whilst the PP and a '+' if you score a SH goal.

In regards to Hoffman his season was hard to judge, he started off really well but personal issues off the ice meant he missed a number of games having to travel back home, when he returned the team had been hit by injuries to Benedict,Hemmingway, Seeley,Cook so he had to play D and did it well.
I think when he was announced Giants fans thought he would beat the daylights out of everybody and lay big hits, Doug i think told him to rein it in because we couldn't afford to have him warming the penalty box as he was needed on the ice.
I would have him back in a heartbeat.

I guess it's a case of 'better the devil you know'. How many players that have put up the same amount of points over successive seasons have played for Nottingham in the EIHL? It's not as easy as you think to find those players.

It's not as easy as you think to find those players. You've got a point. Not many players are prepared to go as far out of their way to chase the officials for those extra points are they? Points may be good for a player's CV, but as a fan of the club rather than individual players, the only points that really count to me are the ones on the league table.

A positive comment from an ECHL fan here regarding Francis and also a mention for Kowalski.
"Our boy Matt Francis is going to be with you guys too, he was out most of last year with elbow issues but he is a quality player, good scorer and can make things happen. Decently quick and a good touch.
Don't you have Kowalski too? We loved him in Gwinnett, I'd say he was our best goalie in a long time and I love how he doesn't take crap from anybody."
