Christiansen : 'Last Import is a Top Centre'
08-Aug-2011 | Discuss this ArticleDoug Christiansen has given an indication that his last import signing will be an "impact centre". In an exclusive and frank interview for KotG's A View From The Bridge podcast, the Giants coach stated that his team needs someone who can "distribute the puck, be a point producer", a player who can "control on the powerplay".
In the interview, now available, Christiansen gives Patrick Smyth of AVFTB an insight into his recruitment process, his views on last seasons criticism of his tactics and his opinions on this seasons big teams.
He also chats about a number of this seasons new recruits alongside giving his opinions on who to really watch out for this season in a Giants jersey
But with one last import player on the cards, he feels the Giants are on the verge of obtaining "one more weapon" that will help them "match the top scoring teams" in the league.
