I'm curious as to what the possible implications of pulling out of a signed contract like this are? Regardless of reasons the timing is poor -.-'

I suspect that there will be nothing that the club can do, even if they force him to work his notice that would entail them paying for plane flights to and from the country.
I bet this is the visa that the site mentioned earlier - so I guess we might not be getting any more imports coming over this week :/

There'll be no implications. Only has to give two weeks notice anyway, and they probably don't kick in until the player gets here.
Wonder how many Five On Three t-shirts are going in the drawer, never to see the light of day again...

So, starting the season with at least 2 imports down now. Great.
Feel for those that shelled out for the t-shirts, and for Five-On-Three who will no doubt have a lot of merch they won't be able to sell now.
Wasn't overly chuffed when we signed him, but hope we can get a good replacement in ASAP.

At least he's dropped out now and not half way through the season, this could work to our advantage to, I imagine he will have been receiving quite a large wage had he joined so I believe we still have the power to turn the heads of players who are still not signed up, there are a number of free agents left in the AHL, plus it could mean additional money towards getting that desired 13th import...

Its only us tho' isn't it. All the hype about signing massive players, ex Nhl blah blah blah & then they decide not to come. Something has obviously changed his mind maybe a better offer but the timing is crap. Maybe he wasn't fit enough which has been mentioned as a problem previously. Anyway doesnt matter now, feel sorry for Corey he must be fuming.

 Might have to pay him a year up front..... Wouldn't want him anyway. Talented player but didn't bother throwing a hit until March.

Doesn't make it any easier but Theo Peckham has been on twitter
"GMBPanthersLive retweeted
Theo Peckham @pecks24
Friends in England after the issues I'm having with my visa and some other family issues I've decided to not come to NOT I apologize"
He was a big signing and one hopes that we can get someone approaching what he seemed to be offering. I suppose that if he was having doubts it was better to at least give us a bit of time to sort out a replacement.

Oh well we move on.... this could be a silver lining... plenty of AHL studs still out there, its how quick paperwork can be completed to get him over here.
Id imagine Peckham commanded a decent wade of cash as well...

We seem to have these same problems with players not joining every season whilst other teams just sail through with little or no issues. Very frustrating, along with starting the season very shorthanded it's not really good enough.

Makes the decision to go an import short on all our rivals look a stunning decision doesn't it... as I stated earlier penny pinching...

To be honest I would not be surprised if that car crash at the end of the Panthers TV show contributed. GM made Lizon out to be a bit stupid when he made Corey tell him about the passport. Quite unprofessional of the Club and what I would expect out of another Club, not a million miles away!!
Bearing in mind he was good friends with Lizon, it would not surprise me that he just thought forget it.....

I'm actually glad on this one,apart from leaving us even shorter initially.
Had the potential to be one of two things......Either a huge fan favourite,or the next Joe Grimaldi !

I just wonder how fit he actually was/is. All the players that are here have come in fit & ready & after tonights performance they did pretty damn well. It was mentioned a while ago that previously he had turned up unfit & overweight. Anyway thats the end of him, I'm glad he's done it now and not 6 weeks down the line.

I didn't see it as showing Lizon to be stupid at all, but that he was playing a joke on the Panthers. |

I'd be amazed if anyone would feel so sensitive about something like that. |
