It sucks we lost Tippin but I am happy to get Kubaliak back

I was hoping to see Tippin in action.

If Im not mistaken, Kubaliak will drop them, right?

Well hopefully he will, he broke his hand in a fight during preseason. He had 13 fights with TC last season.

not surprised really though that we let go of Tippin other than the fact Richmond by history generally has a guy like him on thier roster. but still looking at the rest of the league, did we still need him with really only Leslie out there. still have more players than most teams that will drop the gloves when needed, even though they haven't dropped them much this year.

really liked seeing the signing of Rollins, something we have been needing. wasn't he one that we recieved during the dispersal draft? and if so, what has made him decide to play.

dang it, i think they should've kept chase but oh well

im happy with the changes overall. it sucks to lose your tough guy but with how the league is changing there was just not a spot for him. but kubaliak and needham should be enough to handle everyone in the league except leslie probably. i also like the rollins signing. in the dispersal draft i think we picked kahlil thomas, ryan webb and connor mcdonald if i can remember correctly.

Hated we lost him....

[spugh99]

Kubaliak will drop the gloves and actually fights rather well, but then again he is solid on the ice and really can't afford to be in the box.

just because the league changed didn't mean the gades had to, we could've kept chase and maybe that would force the other teams to get a tough guy back. i am not a big fan of the anti-fighting dip the league is taking

Needham went with Leslie in Columbus last year and did fine. He really held his own and gave Leslie a run for his money.
