Good experience, always hard to tell how good defensemen will be though.

Lets hope he's fit cos he's going to be playing more games in 11 days than he's played all season.

That is if he's here for them EMB is an even better point.....we have heard about Panthers flights and paperwork before,he will probably miss the first eight of them !!!!
Obviously a Brad Moran signing this one,now go and get Ulmer.

Thank goodness! We needed a Dman. This guys has a solid CV, good size and doesn't take too many penalties. The only question mark is how much he's played this year. If he comes in fit then i think we're onto a winner.

Left shot D man so what we've been 'looking' for, looks a little up and down on stats but can never tell with D men. Has decent CV but his fitness will be the main worry if he has only played 7 games in a senior league this season.
Looking through his past rosters he's played with some familiar faces from around the league, Moran when he was at Linz, Kwall, Stefan Meyer. Mathieu Roy, Tyler Plante, Riley Emmerson and everyone's favourite.. Joe Grimaldi.

I do he scored a hatrick I'm about 10 mins ! Quality player. There's a difference between hayes / Rutherford at caps to ulmer at a team in a much better league.
I don't see anyone else coming in now

Good resume and could obviously play from six straight years in Austria.
But yes as you say Yotes,rather underwhelming that the best we could get was a guy from the back of beyond who's played 8 games this year.
We need him here quick but still sorting paperwork and then he's going to get thrust straight into the busiest twelve days of the season,IF he's here in time that is.
It's not exactly great is it....this is the signing we needed two or three months ago !

This is how all that money saved from Ling is spent?... either a massive overspend or even more money from panthers is being banked
If another signing isnt made today then i for one am very underwhelmed...

This signing will be all we get.
Not sure what signings people expect this time of the year. He looks pretty decent with decent +/- stats from Austria. It's a body which is the main thing.

Feel like I'm missing something... so we've apparently been looking for someone for weeks but the "right" guy wasn't available and today we sign a guy that's not played since end of November. So either he isn't the "right" guy or we've not been looking right?
CV pre this year makes him sound like a decent pick up, as mentioned fitness may be an issue to start with. Biggest issue I have is why hasn't he been signed weeks ago given he is now the "right" guy and that he's not had a club for 2 and a half months! Also why has it been left to be a touch and go situation as to whether he will be here Wednesday we've had 10 days since our last game. Could the fact that the whole club seems to have been on holiday through the international break be anything to do with it?

They mention replacing Ling in the radio interview with Corey about MacDonald, it doesn't sound like we will be getting a replacement forward.

Spot on Cjmatt,I was thinking exactly the same thing.
And he apparently jumped at the chance too according to Panthers,so if we've been looking for so long why has it taken months !

Had a tweet come through from the head media guy at Caribous he's also the local TV host. I asked him if he could give us a brief outline of what we were getting.
Quote: Definately a top d-man in the CWSHL has a key role for the Caribous. Is a great guy for them especially in the locker room & is very well liked.
Not sure why he hasnt played that much then?
