What's the odds on this story being a fib and panthers have got rid like they did 2 or 3 years ago when the import limit changed!!

The import limit and CHL clearly having an impact... What a shame.

It's quite clear that the import ruling has screwed him over and more than likely was gonna be made to be 7th D man for next season! Which is annoying because IMO he deserves better

Does this also mean Lee and Weaver are likely to return as our 2 Brit Dmen?

So we up the import limit because we have lost a few brits this season and in turn it is making even more brits jump ship.
Really feel for Tom, played his heart out last season and never let anyone down at any point.
Its a tough one to call, if we are going with an extra import dman this season then he would have played less minutes and thus wouldnt really be improving and would have to come back as a legitimate import worth dman to be a valuable addition to the team i.e stevie lee, weaver.
Now reading between the lines this must mean that we will either be resigning Lee and weaver or two addition quality brit dmen otherwise we have left ourselves short at the back.

There are 9 other Elite League clubs, Braehead as an example have just lost Sam Zajac, why is it Panthers or drop down? |

Im sure the panthers have only agreed if he drops down to the EPL. |

I imagine Tom, who I think works at blue bell school, needs to stay local to Nottingham for his job. I doubt Steelers would sign him and maybe the Blaze weren't an option either so EPL becomes a better bet.

Hang on a minute, weren't most of people on here criticising Corey for NOT going with 4 import D, which would've limited his ice-time anyway (sorry but he isn't at the level of Lee/Weaves at the mo).

Good move for Tom and the Panthers I think.

There are 9 other Elite League clubs, Braehead as an example have just lost Sam Zajac, why is it Panthers or drop down? It does say in the release he is dropping to 'the minors' - I assume thats EPL. He played for Peterborough a couple of years back, and if he is staying Nottingham based that would be the obvious fit. But I suspect he is 'too good' for phantoms, and may end up in Telford, Guildford or Manchester. |

Hang on !! Hes asked to be released, not BEEN released . Besides he may have put the effort in but so do washing machines! He wasn't strong enough on the back end against the bettet teams. Time to move on

He has definitely been asked to be released due too the import changes, not because he doesn't want to play for panthers anymore. IMO he would have been a great asset to the team for another season and was progressing well! I hope he has an amazing season in the EPL and gets the treatment he deserves.

He's been asked to be released, or he's asked to be released?
As BigLad says, the majority on here I would say want 4 import defencemen, and wanted them before the rule change, so most of us would have Norton as #7 (assuming Weaver and Lee give us another year). Fair enough that Tom wants more of a role than that, and good luck to him wherever he ends up, but would you really rate him as top 6 in that sort of setup?

I can assure you all he hasn't been released. He will be moving back to Peterborough for more ice time.

Im sorry but i doubt im on my own when i say Tom was nowhere near good enough for Elite level, his turn overs and the amount of time he was caught chasing the puck carrier or telling much more senior players what they should be doing was beyond a joke.

Ok. Fair enough but I personally dont have an issue with him telling senior players what to do. It shows confidence rather than being a shrinking violet. |

I don't think he was telling them what to do, it's called communication and IMO could play elite level |

Going with 4 import D is the answer so if Lee & Weaver are back he's the 7th Dman. Makes sense to get ice time elsewhere. Plus, he's not good enough imo.
