The GMB Panthers have lined up Finnish defenceman Tuukka Makela and he could be in the line-up as early as this weekend.

I'm glad that you know that Finnish is spelt with two Ns, cos whoever wrote the article on the official site doesn't!

Has he actually signed then? Why are they saying "lined up"?

We don't normally announce signings we might make so seemed a little odd. |

We needed a d man and a d man we have got. Won't harm us - and we can give Werner all the time he needs to be fully fit for his return.

Good - we have needed more D cover - I hear Henley could also be back this weekend. We have given some soft ones away of late. Lots of games to go.

I heard he could Finish things off on the Powerplay. That he Finishes his checks. He intends on Finishing his career off at a top European club.
Oh, and he is Finnish.

Appears to have a previous altercation with none other than Matt Nickerson!

No according to the OS he wont be But in the short-term Panthers will be without Henley and Werner this weekend AND there are question marks over captain David Clarke, Bob Wren, and Chris Capraro. The latter two came off injured during the win over Fife on Sunday and it isn't known yet how long they may be on the sidelines. |

On the same day David Liffiton (who has been previously mentioned on these hallowed pages) leaves his SHL club after an unsuccessful try-out. I'd say he'd be a bit pricy, though.
Another "last year in Italy, not been playing this year" pickup. That's 3 now for Panthers this season!

I like this alot, with us getting a bigger bloke and by the looks of things he more stay at home, maybe in asaigo we could play the rough game again like riga and Makela fits that role better rather than the smaller offensive guy

This looks a bit more like it. Not afraid to rough it a little. Exactly whats required.

Heard that he had been approached by Steelers but chose us on less money - only a rumour of course - Now where have I heard that before??

Signed and sealed according the the NEP and Elite Prospects. Nothing on the OS though. Really looking forward to seeing this guy play, hopefully against Sheffield. |

Is he another one that hasn't played yet this season? If so he needs a few matches to settle in and learn Corey's systems.

Good signing as we need some injury cover on D.
Can't understand of all this talk about how "no nonsense" this guy is going to be. He is as soft as they come.
