So why isn't he playing against Dundee then?? 🤔 Because it's asking too much time wise after a full day's travelling and we won't need him anyway. He is supposed to debut in Sheffield on Boxing Day with a home debut on the 27th. I pray to god you're right

Because it's asking too much time wise after a full day's travelling... There is also the not insignificant issue of him landing at Heathrow an hour and ten minutes after puck drop against Dundee, if he caught the first flight out of Toronto tomorrow. Far more likely he'll catch a flight tomorrow night, arriving in the UK on the 24th.

I see Panthers O/s and social media is bang up to date keeping the fans well informed of Williams imminent arrival.....Not !

Knowing our lot they will fly him into Gatwick, there are only four flights out of Toronto to the UK tomorrow , two leave just before 9am into Heathrow the next leaves at 6pm into LHR. And then Gatwick leaves at 8pm. Cheapest night flight with air transat.

You must mean the one line buried in the middle of the high five article. Normally they would be all over a Stanley cup winning ex Nhler arriving. Blimey you can tell Dec 27th is already a sell out !

Finally a player who's worth paying money to see...if he comes to play he should dominate. This should give steelers defence something to think about!

He was a good secondary scorer. It was unfortunate for him he was behind some superstars in the pecking order there. He got drafted at the wrong time I guess lol

He did get icetime... when he wasn't a healthy scratch ! You don't get any genuine 2nd/3rd liners over here except Theo. The big question of if he comes to play you are in for a treat. One thing I can see happening is steelers will be pre occupied keeping a eye of jason Schultz or Niki could get space to play

The latest Evening Post article states that Williams isn't playing on Boxing Day and he will instead debut on the 27th, if that's true, bearing in mind he's flying in today, then why are we not playing him, especially as we are so short?

Home debut yep I understand that, but yet again the club are content to let us play at a disadvantage, just to let him play his first game at home? If he's here he plays, simple as, even if he's on reduced ice time an extra body is better than nothing. The fact remains that I, probably yourself and a hell of a lot of other Panthers fans will be making the journey up, even after the recent results that we have had to endure there, so the club should do everything that they can for us

I will be very peeved if he does not especially as he ll be in the country!
