Cheers Bobness/Pidge. I'd agree Oleksuk looks the better player there. Hodgman seems to be in decline. The best thing about Boucher for Belfast is his age, at 27 from the DEL/AHL that's a seriously good pick up. The Giants last defence signing is only 27years old as well - straight from playing on the top line for Iserlohn Roosters. Former 4th overall NHL draft pick Griffin Reinhart. Him and Raine will form a heck of a defensive partnership I’d imagine. Giants are much younger, faster and look hungrier this year. They’ll be there or there abouts. The battle of the big four will be immense I think.

Not to mention their last forward signing is JJ Piccinich. Only 25 years old. I seen him play in America and he’s such a strong grafter and work horse. He captained the London Knights and won a memorial cup with Mitch Marner.
The Giants have spent serious dough this year.

Him and Piccinich are their last two signings

Him and Piccinich are their last two signings Will wait confirmation but if Reinhart does sign that's absolutely crackers. Wow. Easily the best D man I've seen pedigree wise for many years. Jeez man.

Looks a very good signing in fairness, time will tell with all the new guys in the league. How many players do Panthers still have to sign.

Giants will say they haven’t spent much and it’s all about the Irish charm lol
Big gamble- spend big in the hope it entices the big crowds after the pandemic.

Every team has been asked/instructed to work within a certain spending cap. I've no idea how the Giants have made these two signings if they all go ahead. It's very impressive & I look forward to seeing them at Nottingham.

Herr exactly didn’t have Reinharts CV though. Panthers have had players with similar CVs of Reinhart in the past .. it's upto the player now to live upto to his billing .
