Big guy with good face off numbers, bags of AHL experience and only 27. Seems like a great pick.

Interesting that the RUMOUR of signing a guy from France2 got a lot more attention than the actual signing of a very good looking player

I was going to post some sarcastic comment in relation to plus/minus, yet that would just be stooping to the level of the forum oxygen thief.
Instead, this dude looks a great signing. Welcome to Nottingham.

Fantastic signing. After the discussions earlier he does actually look a bit of a Sam Herr type signing. Less games in the AHL but slightly better PPG. Good age too.

Brilliant. Exactly the calibre of player we should be aiming for. Not ar$ing about shopping in the French 2nd tier, if the rumours are true of course

Looks a great signing. I can’t wait to hear why it’s a dreadful one that no other team in the league would have made though.

The top 6 is where the ability to compete really happens as far as forwards go. Henbrant, Herr and another would set us up to be up there. 2 Brits in the forwards. A big hitting type and a grinder needed and then perahps Michund and another to make up the bottom 6. Wishfull thinking but i'll keep dreaming for now. |

A tough guy to keep teams honest and an irritant that will hopefully get us some PowerPlays |

According to Elite Prospects, Herr is signed on for next season in Ravensburg I'm sure he'll stay there. Id imagine he could get out of it if soembody paid the right price though. Any player of that quality will do the job. |

Quality signing and one that helps us keep pace with the other arena teams signings so far. Also getting him in his prime. Has proved he can adapt to the European game already and was on an AHL contract the year before. Nice to see Herr speaking so highly of the organisation too.
As the first new guy signed this bodes well! Welcome to Nottingham Matt

Could make games against Guildford interesting too. Especially for the commentators...
Matt Alfaro facing off against Matt Alvaro anyone?
Cue chaos in the game reports

Looks a very good signing. Already brings two things we were lacking last year. Faceoff winning and some size. Hopefully he settles in quickly and has a good year.

Last season we had Anthony Luciani (pronounced Loo-chi-annie) for us and Alessio Luciani (pronounced Loo-chi-arnie) for Coventry! |

Any chance of us signing a Matt Alforo as well just to keep you on your toes?? 😉 |

A couple of things of note from the signing news is him mentioning he prides himself on his 2 way play and ability/willingness to be the go to guy for face offs.
Both of these areas are where we’ve been lacking the last few years so it’s good to hear this is what he is hoping to bring to the team.

According to the EIHL website, anyway... |

Stewart on Matt and the rest of the roster assembled so far for those interested

Alfaro looks like he could be a great new addition to the squad. He should improve us on faceoffs and hopefully he has a major impact in the middle of the ice. Good sample of AHL games to refer to as well in such a young career. I look forward to seeing how he does
