TORONTO \u2013 The new dragons on CBC-TV\u2019s reality series \u201cDragons\u2019 Den\u201d showed some claws in their debut last week, but newcomer Joe Mimran says they were too soft in their rookie outing.<\/p>\n

The tenth season debuted last Wednesday with the fashion titan and fellow newbie Michele Romanow agreeing to help fund a Vancouver-based crowdsourced delivery service.<\/p>\n

Mimran says many more deals follow as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we probably did too many deals, to be quite honest,\u201d Mirman said in a post-mortem earlier this year at a CBC event to introduce three new judges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of deals that were done for either emotional reasons or because we were new, or whatever. I think we could have been, as a group, a touch tougher. Especially at the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Third newcomer Manjit Minhas, who made her fortune as co-founder and co-owner of Minhas Breweries and Distillery, also jumped into the early deal-making by partnering with an Ottawa-based creator of a line of cocktail syrups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will make lots of money together,\u201d she promised the wannabe mogul in last Wednesday\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

Veteran dragon Jim Treliving said he scored 43 deals overall this season, just shy of his record of 46 deals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If every agreement goes through it would cost the Boston Pizza boss $9.2 million, but he said that’s not likely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I look at is what happened (in) previous years… 10 to 15 per cent come to fruition, for whatever reason,\u201d said Treliving.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know that when you\u2019re doing the show because you\u2019ve got 45 minutes to make a decision. So what you look at is: Does this fit in with the criteria that I want to use and where I can do it? Have I got a connection that can help these people?<\/p>\n

\u201d<\/p>\n

Returning judge Michael Wekerle said he was especially gun shy this time around, noting he was burned by a deal last season that cost him $350,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year I didn\u2019t bring a team behind me,\u201d said the flamboyant financial guru, a tech industry trader known for his rock\u2019n\u2019roll passions.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to remember one thing: You can\u2019t pay enough for good lawyers, accountants and good people working with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, he said he\u2019s happy with a lot of the partnerships he formed last year, even if they weren\u2019t all financial successes.<\/p>\n

The new dragons were front-and-centre in the season premiere, with Joe Fresh founder Mimran taking the centre chair while Buytopia co-founder Romanow and beer baroness Minhas took either side.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time that we\u2019ve ever changed three dragons in one year which makes a huge difference and I think the whole perspective of the show has changed,\u201d said Treliving.<\/p>\n
