Devils beef up blueline with Sawyer

Sawyer to add a huge physical presence to their blueline
The Cardiff Bay Arena just became a much tougher place for other teams to come and play in with the addition of giant defenceman Justin Sawyer. Standing at 6'6" and weighing 240lbs, “Soys” as he has been known by his team-mates is an intimidating sight for opposition forwards.

We definitely need McMorrow back!

You need someone tough!

The league already looks a lot bigger and more physical than last year.

Would I be far off in saying that no-one will be able to match signing a player like Sawyer? Replacement for Voth perhaps? Since this is his last season.

I don't think Sawyer will be the toughest in the league.

I think he will be one of many Heavyweights this year. I reckon Penner would usually win in a fight between those two but Sawyer has been brought in to play a full role on the Devils Blue line as well.

Sawyer is a D.man and Voth is a forward...

Sawyer may be big and tough but there's plenty out there tougher than him... Alex Penner and Cedric Bernier are two guys already in the league that match up to Sawyer... Giants will have a tough guy next season so chill...

I hope we have an enforcer next year, not like 2 years ago when we had to rely on 2 of our top players, Robins and MacMillan, to mix it up. Meaning we were without one of our top players for 5 mins, and possibly risking injury!

If we have a fighter, I would prefer them to not do any of the panto hugfests but fight out of raw emotion or because someone said they had a big nose or called their mother a slag or something.
