Gutted, ruined my day. This seems to happen every season to the Panthers. The club must be jinxed. It's been a low key close season and this has just put the tin lid on it. This ^ I'm shocked at how deflated i am by this news. I don't have high hopes for us getting a replacement with half the impact Janssen had. I don't care about his fighting, or his ability on the puck (to a degree) the sheer energy he brought the team, and how entertaining he is to watch will be sorely missed. I do love this sport, but season before last was downright dull to watch at times, If we have another year like that i can't imagine me renewing the ST. The only thing worse than this, is the poo poo drivel that we will get now "Waiting for the right guy", "Confident enough to start short". And for the above arguments, this IS a dig at the panthers organisation; The vast majority of other teams have the foresight and recruitment ability to start the season with a full roster, sometimes with spares. As what is considered one of the more wealthy, successful clubs....Why can't we? I understand that there was no helping this or Mosey, they took the smarter options. However the deciding factor here is if we manage to get people in place, at the very least EARLY in the season, if not by the start (due to visa's etc), if that doesn't happen and we pussyfoot around waiting for the "right guy" then i think i will lose all faith in the management of this team. I don't believe that is unfair or out of term.

Got to agree with Iginla, there's no chance this was just decided. This isn't something you do spur of the moment. He would have decided a while ago or had been contemplating this seriously. Wish Cam the best retiring and leaving a team can never be an easy thing to do.
However, we are now two imports short and not even half of them seem to be here with a game just over a week away. Some people need to take the wool from eyes and wake up, you've all said "this always seems to happen to us" so why to this day does Corey play hard to get on signings? We have late arrivals every season, less time to prepare, more time it takes for players to adjust to each other. I've admittedly been supporting the patience but this is getting ridiculous.
Corey had better pull two marquee players out of somewhere if we want to seriously contend. Optimism is great, ignorance isn't.

Great. Was already less than impressed with this year's team compared to last, and also compared to how our main rivals had recruited, but was at least happy that we still had Cam as the best of the returning bunch. Now even that's not going to happen. I certainly don't blame Cam though, sounds like something you don't turn down. He will be massively missed. I imagine a lot of players in other teams will be having a celebratory beer tonight!

I don't think I can express myself properly regarding this bit of news with the swear filter in place.
Good luck to him, obviously.

Very disappointed but I'd have been more concerned if this had been Wiikman who, IMO, will have a greater impact on what this team does in the coming season.

I am also gutted, and I am a Devils fan. Real character, huge attraction for fans, awesome checker, and as tough as old boots. Big loss to club and league

We will actually probably be better off as a team. Still we've lost some great entertainment value in Cam. Its not all about winning i also watch Panthers to be entertained.

While I loved watching Cam, he doesn't win games, goals do.
The club have to use this as an opportunity to rebalance the side and using the money this saves (I expect A LOT) to get us a good replacement who could get some more points (Cam's main weakness) and more cash to get a marquee Top pair D-man. Wave some money in Lepine's face with conditional offer of a uni deal for next season (assuming we have none left this year).

Seems like it is only me who is not ready to throw himself off Trent Bridge. If people are correct about Janssen's departure then surely we will do well to finish above seventh in the league.

An enforcers role it to protect the skill players.
We don't have any skill players signed up yet so we don't need the enforcer anyway.
He's been released hasn't he, it's pure genius from Corey.

I think if you're reading this: I was thinking that, pretty much every off season in the CN era I'd say? as blaming Neilson, you're being a little over-sensitive tbh. No one has used the phrase "typical Panthers" anywhere. Exactly. Cheers Yotes. In no way was I blaming or having a subtle dig at CN or anybody at HQ. Over sensitive sums it up.

Disappointing, but it sounds a great opportunity for Cam - and hockey players have to have a life after playing. Pleased for him and life goes on. Doors close and doors open.
