And many are wondering the same thing. But looking at who is already signed for some it may only be an invitation to camp for a chance to win a spot. With nine players signed six are "D" men, two RW and one goalie.
The defense is close to being set, we still need a few vets and another goalie. Hopefully a few off of our first and second lines will at least come back for camp. There were some very hard workers last year that IMO would be a good fit, but who knows. We will just have to wait and see what Al can do.

The Brahmas have touted the improvement from last year and staying in the playoff chase until the last few weeks.
Now, with only one returnee from that team....what is the message? Is it no talent or no Sims ? Only Dececco so far to score goals. You are kidding me if Bastien, Paquet, Genesse and Jas are not in the mix. As for the defense being set....I don't believe that either. Willers and Hartinger are good players. Branham is one of top six. Beyond that is Brand (big and slow) and two rookies. Hynes and Davis need to be in the equation somehow, either playing here or traded for players. |

that is why I said "close to being set". Inked contracts with this club normally get a spot. (not always, they are traded at times) Bastien, Paquet, Genesse and Jas would be great additions along with both Davis brothers and Hynes. I wouldn't count on BL I'm sure he'll stay in the AHL.
Last years squad made great progress, but it still wasn't good enough in the long run. All teams try to increase from the prior year and some are successful. We do have to replace the scoring lost by Woollard moving on. We do need to have a power play and penality kill. So far don't see it, but it has potential the rest of the signings an camp tryouts will give us a better clue. But let's not forget half the team is signed already, and we must have a second or first goalie. Not many spots left after filling in the spots.

Good question, Cowtown. Is it no talent or no Sims? The improvement touted by the club happened in aproximately the first half of the season. The second half was crash and burn. If the talent was there why hasn't the core of that team been signed and then the holes plugged with the Saints players? Does that mean the Saints had better talent than the Brahmas? I'm having a hard time understanding the strategy thus far. Where are Bastien, Paquet, Jas, et al? Coach, you seem to be privy to what's going on. Will any of last year's team be invited to camp or signed? Can you say if the club is talking to them? None have signed with other teams or leagues that I know of.

I have heard that Adam D. has been offered a trade to a Border team and is considering it.

After the loss of a key player (ringer) and a few other unforeseen changes the team bravado and chemistry melted/dissolved. The fact that no leader was brought in or no one there was worthy of the "C" told me by late January it was dumper time. Once the slide began the players fell into the same old ways of losing. It was all over but the shouting. The last game was the same through two periods until someone found his "Balls", excuse me ladies. Just my honest opinion. Finally the answer is there is non among the old team that needs to come back. Most likely they would not sign on. Will wait and see. Playing here except the first 10 games last year has not been fun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can sign a player you traded away the previous season (a rights issue or something). So I don't think that AA Davis could come back here. I also heard the Adam Davis trade rumor.

Here is what I will throw out there...
Adam Davis will not be back with FW Sokol has signed in another league. I don't believe it has been announced so I will not state the team yet. Paquet is looking at multiple offers right now both in the US and Europe. Lind has a family situation that will keep him closer to home. I wouldn't rule out Jas, Bastien and Genesse completely as of right now. Don't be so quick on Lundbohm. He hasn't signed in the AHL just yet. Welsh and Carper both retired. Hynes is probably the only defenseman from last season that is still available, but we all know the amount of defense we have signed already, so do you give him a shot or not? I really don't know on this one... I don't see Murphy coming back and not even sure if he will play this season. His injury last season might force him to retire, who knows. Banach's injury revealed some other medical issues that he will have to consider if he plays again, but I heard that was doubtful. Bansner is someone I think we should bring back, but do we need 2 enforcers since we have Silverstone now? Upton is a vet now. The hard question is did he show enough last season to warrant a vet spot this season? I personally love to watch the guy play, but not so sure he is worth the vet spot. Who does that leave left? Udovicvic, no idea. BJ Cotton, never played a min I don't believe. Woollard, he is out. Aaron Davis and Sheldon Nedjelski can not be traded back to FW. You can't be traded back to the team you last played for. They would have to be traded to another team and then from that team back to FW. I am not sure if they actually have to play for that team though, in other words, I don't know if you can just do a 3 team trade thing, I doubt it though. After reading through that, who would you suspect will be asked back? I only see 3-5 players that have the potential to even be asked or will be available. Drew |
