We've had some big signings this week, maybe he means the Clan signing of Rosehill.

Devils sign Ulmer.. Layne Ulmer (No relation to Jeff). Played on the same line which tore up Italy, with Sean Bentivoglio.
Both very high point scorers in a faily weak Italian League but if they can re-find their chemistry in Cardiff then they should do very well.

For me Layne Ulmer is THE signing of the summer. That Devils offence is dangerous

Could this be their year at long last they take the league title? They have a lot of fire power and point scorers. Have to see how these point machines do against the grit we seem to have amassed.

It will be interesting to see what Cardiff do now, they've got another import space free but they've already got enough forwards for four lines. I'd like to say I'm not worrying, but you're definitely making me sweat Mr Kolnik!

They do normally manage to lose it though, so... Ulmer looks very good though, consistently strong numbers wherever he's played.

We're playing the waiting game on releasing names, I wouldnt be surprised at all to hear Kolnik has been signed for weeks, I doubt he would have left it this late without notifying the club & he really loved it here last year. On a separate note what do people think of Matthew Davies who has not been re-signed by the Storm? last years Captain I beleive? Seems strange when there is such a shortage of British talent and at the moment it looks like the Storm only have 2 Brits signed, is this someone that Panthers would look at, is he good enough? as I know very little about the guy apart from seeing him at Hull and thinking his was a fiesty little so and so..lol

All 4 of our main rivals have gone for big fire power. We seem to have the defense top trump on paper. They do say 'defence wins championships' Though.
I think our season will hinge on Lawrence and Carter lime. If that line doesnt produce we'll probably be short of goals. Also Lacho, he cant repeat last season. He effectively stopped whichever line he was on scoring last year. He needs to get back to his point scoring ways.

As much as I liked Kolnik last year and would have loved him back,I now don't think it would be enough looking at what we've already got and what we're up against in other teams this year. We need a really serious quality signing up front !

Better PPG over his EIHL career than Lachowicz. If the last 3 were Lepine, Davies and Kolnik i'd be pretty happy with that.

If the last 3 were Lepine, Davies and Kolnik i'd be pretty happy with that. majority of rumours have Davies down to EPL Lepine would be perfect, as would someone like this guy www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=11624 - similar size, good pedigree, Lefty, and also played in Italy last year where a fair few of this years signings have come from after the merger with the Austrian 2nd Division I would be happy to see Kolnik return, although wouldnt want him if hes going to let us down mid year and travel back home, id rather he be 100% with us. Also i still think we need more pace, we only look to have Lindhagen so far who has any speed, so another quick skater wouldnt go amiss we wait and see

Davis or Davies I'd take, both play a similar gritty game like Boxil has for us in the past. Lepine is on his way, and Kolnik or better must be in the pipeline. As for Lacho he needs to snap out this slump and produce on his line. We need our imports to fire on all cyclinders and the Brits to chip in heavily too. Also you heard it here first, Carter will pop in 40+ goals for us this coming year 👌🏻

I can't see Devils being as effective as people expect, a forward lineup of pretty much 1st liners for most teams.. Stick a few of those on the 2nd and 3rd line with reduced ice time and against tough, big, gritty players.. They'll be shut down and planted into the boards.
As for the Davies (Matty) to Panthers thing, he'll likely be back to the EPL. I'd take Ben Davies for a couple of years before he returns to Cardiff after Myers has hung them up or left them again. Can't rely on Lacho to do much, make or break season for him.. Doesn't perform.. I'll be at the front of the queue waving him goodbye.

So in Cardiff..."Following the arrival of Layne Ulmer the Devils now have 12 forwards and Kelman is thinking about making one further addition.
“We lost Hervato and Ryan Russell in the same day, as both of them told us they were leaving. So we have a spot for an EU passport player or a Brit, whether we use it right now I don’t know, we might just start the season with what we’ve got"
And on Ben Davies "One player who has been heavily linked with a return to Cardiff is out of contract Great Britain international Ben Davies. When asked about the prospect of signing Davies, Kelman said: “I genuinely don’t know at the moment, I know his intentions are to go across to the East Coast League and try-out with a team there. “He has been on the ice with our team most summer, but that should be no indication of anything. We are lucky we have ice all summer, so we have had Phil Hill and Stevie Lyle out there with all the guys who live in Cardiff.
“He is a name we are talking about, but if you know me and Andrew Lord, you know we take our time. I wouldn’t say ‘no’ to Ben Davies, but it is certainly not a shoo-in, we haven’t made an offer and it hasn’t got to that stage yet.”

Sounds like a potential Farmer type situation where he goes to the ECHL for a bit and has a club to fall back on if things don't work out.

I expect the only remaining Brit to sign will be a reserve netminder.

Lol I've said exactly the same to a Belfast friend. I thought their coach said he was having a clear out this season so very surprised they've signed Sicknote for half a season.

I wouldn't be happy if we signed a player who had played an average of only 32 games a season over the last seven years !

Ex team mate of Geoff Waugh & Andy Sertich. Another dual national whos played for croatia. Neilson would very likely have known about him given who hes played with. Was signed at end of last week but obviously only announced today...
