We'd never get him. I'd assume he lives in Germany now though, certainly will have citizenship and his career seems to be based upon loyalty and stability.. I'd expect he's settled down with family in Bietigheim-Bissingen and would only consider an extension with them or retire and return to Canada.

But we need a left winger really to play with moran and schultz.

He's certainly bounced around quite a few teams for a career built upon loyalty and stability... Or do you have insider information?

Just the fact his first professional team was also a team he returned too later in life (Troja-Ljungby) and then after 3 seasons with Bietigheim, with a 3 year gap afterwards, he returned 2 years ago and i'd be very surprised if he left. Seems to like to stick to where he knows, the country he knows now days(Germany).

Now that's a proper signing ! Never mind,Panthers will be far better than that,because we're being patient and waiting for better players to become available !! Lol

He's also played in the league albeit over a decade a go.

Sorry but a guy that doesn't skate well is not what we need. He may put up points but in big games that decide the standings or trophies (your star players) are the ones that skate end to end well and are reading the play on their feet. I look to scouting reports over stat sheets. If he doesn't skate well then he's trash in terms of our top point, clutch man. Not to say that he isn't a good player for the league but if his skating is an issue then he is worth more to a rival on the odd man rush than he is to us on a 5 on 5 play.

Is this Davies any good or are we looking at him because he is a brit?

I'd personally rather have Betteridge playing with a solid foundation on the 4th Line. Cardiff might sign him yet though, i'd take Davies over Jones every day of the week, both play C so just dump Jones to the bench or healthy scratch.
Davies would be a good addition, add a bit more depth but i'm not fussed either way.

There is also Matt Davies who played with the Storm last season, he's also a centre, still young at 26, plus he's a good playmaker which is backed up by his stats. I'd probably take him over Ben Davies.

Yevheni Fedorov signing for Caps is another great signing for them. Years of experience in the KHL and scoring some good numbers at Kazan (with Kovalchuk, Lecavalier, Kovalev etc), Dynamo & Spartak Moscow.
Could be another very high point scorer with Vorobyev

Cardiff add a tough D man but from what I've seen he doesn't know how to fight smaller guys around 5ft 10 - 6ft so Cam will have fun with him. They look an offensive threat going forward though.
Panthers roster coming along well just want to see a big bruising D man come in and Kolnik or equivalent to finish off the line up. Maybe even a young spare import looking to earn some ice time and improve his game . . .

How are capitals affording these guys? Exactly what I was thinking. Probably with handouts from the likes of us,because there's no way they are doing it on crowds of 700 !

Still when Caps average weekly ticket income is only around £9k per week,how on earth do you pay 16 or 17 players on that,plus cover everything else ? So the Caps yearly ticket money income is only something like £300k compared to Panthers £2million. Either the Caps are getting these Russians for peanuts,or something is going to go badly wrong later in the season !
