Nothing like jumping the gun or anything but if he is as fully fit as he seems to be then lets hope we can keep him and start to build a proper team again.

Nice addition, but I still hope some are for the axe...

Ok, now let the axe fall and get some other faces in. One man doesn't make a team. Especially one that is so poorly coached.

Can't argue with the CV ( EliteProspects), could ask why we have to wait til the league is all but lost to bring in a player of this calibre, but at least we've got one now. Anyone going the other way? The injury thing is a bit worrying given how hopeless we are at keeping players fit. Plenty of mentions of the Continental Cup in there - priorities.

I didn't say it was a good team, but being mates with Lawrence was considered a reason to sign some of them (rather than a very obvious character flaw), so admitting that would surely be admitting his recruitment was a bust?

If he's fit he should be class. Simple.
Unfortunately this is heavily overshadowed by the fact that its far too late that this sort if thing is being done.

So where does he rank in terms of pedigree of player ever to sign for Panthers(Oustide of lockout)? Obviously we've had Paek. This guy played a number of games on that Detroit Team with all those legends in the early 2000's. He has stacks of NHL games with some near full seasons, again on good teams. We've seen enough big names not live up to the hype, but surely he has to be up there with one of the best.

Good player, if he can keep fit, but far too little to late, of course he will be in for the Superfinal, which is what this season has all been about anyway.
And as many have said with such a poorly coached team what will we end up with. This has been done to try and get the fans off of their backs, hoping that we will all shut up and become complaint children, not utter a word or criticism in the direction of the management of this shambles.
Happy we have signed a good player on paper, but still deeply unhappy with the club and how it is being run.

Someone suggesting on Twitter that he may be cup-tied? Surely not?

A cracking signing and resume,will be class if fully fit and probably the best NHL forward ever to have signed in the EIHL We should have one of these players every season......but from the start though.
Don't like the not here until maybe Christmas though,my money is on early January,just in time for the Super final. That being the reason why we've spent the money !!!

Depends what's in the rules. I once did what he's just done,got to the cup final,other team objected but there was nothing in the rules about playing for two different teams,even though I had even played against the other finalists in a previous round and lost. So I played in the final and we won.
