Apart from the imports already returning i'd only keep Williams.
Lacho and Lee can go for me
Keep Farmer and Ollie
DC still should have another season in him
Faceoff winning centres would be nice D men who clear the zone and are tough - too many of our d are too easy to move off the puck. 3 x snipers
Oh and a plan b

I wouldn't bring back Williams myself, good player but with his injury record, and Panthers' medical department consisting largely of sending Gary to the Goose Fair to get the "curse" lifted by Gypsy Whatnot, it's not a good marriage.
I agree with Pidge, Brown's OK but I'd not be upset to never see the rest of them again. That we've definitely got Submariner Spang back is mildly depressing.

Other than Farmer i can't say there are any of them i would be bothered about losing. But i guess you have to try keep some continuity,so Brown,Mcgrattan and Spang are the only imports to stay for me,with maybe Lindhagen too as a spare/utility player.

It's always difficult. A few seasons ago Bryan Schmidt was the last person I wanted back, yet second time around he was a revelation. Let's look at it a different way,who COULD be good with different linemates?

I too cannot see any positives from this seasons roster. We have 2/3 of the points that the current league leaders have. Fancy cosmetic changes aren't going to make a jot of difference. We need major surgery. And to grow a pair. For me Keep: Farmer Betteridge Clarke, purely as a extra body The rest: All the rest, and imports, can go. I don't care if they've got a 2 year deal, university deal, or whatever they have. They have ALL participated in a absolute joke season.

I know it's an easy thing to say in hindsight, but there were many of us when the team was signed last summer saying "we finished mid table last season, we've re-signed most of the team but seem to have downgraded on the ones we've changed (Kolo etc) whilst other teams have upgraded, even from positions of strength".
Some fans shouted down those who said that, but it proved to be completely accurate. Maybe we DO know more than Corey after all!

And we also need a Captain. One that seems to appreciate what needs to be done. One that actually gets personally annoyed, when we lose in Edinburgh.

Some fans shouted down those who said that, but it proved to be completely accurate. Maybe we DO know more than Corey after all! It was an easy call even without the benefit of hindsight. A mid table team lost its complete spine in Schmidt,Mosey,Kolnik,Myers and Janssen and we just didn't replace them. When you add to that every other team upgrading and it was bloody obvious we were going to be in trouble this season looking at what we signed to replace them. I really really cannot understand Neilsons recruiting,I'm told from within he's a poor recruiter and looking from the outside it is obviously correct. Even when he does manage to get a decent player or two,he then buggers around playing them out of their normal position half the time and just seems to make a complete hash of the whole thing. He's bloody lucky he's still in a job,how he's lasted this long is beyond me ! Can't wait to see the back of him.

It doesn't matter who Corey wants to sign NB still has to sign it off, I hear he offered Fornier a contract almost signed and sealed until NB refused to pay, he went to Belfast for not much more. I said ages ago that Corey would probably stay in Nottm until the children either finished school or went away, well the youngest is now going to hockey school in Canada so nothing really to keep him here if he gets a better offer. He may well honour his 2nd year but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't especially if we miss playoffs this year.

I nearly choked on my beer at the Q+A when Mr Black said "the on ice team had TOTAL control over who they sign"......yeah right Neil course they do. 😂😂 (By the way EMB.....you meant Forney...Fournier plays for Cardiff,come on wake up. Lol)

Apparently Lawrence and Carter back on two year uni deals.... Didn't Lawrence get a uni deal with Coventry? Hence wanting to stay in the UK. How many degrees does he want?

The only reason Lawrence wasn't here from the start of last season is because Panthers for once used a bit of common sense and didn't give him a uni deal that he wanted. In the end he went to Coventry because they foolishly gave him one. The thing is his Coventry Uni deal ended when they gave him the boot... after just 4 league games. Coventry can't have been impressed with his conduct especially as one weekend he was apparently found spark out after a drinking session outside IKEA... All the more reason to refuse his request again. Hopefully him and Carter won't be back next year.... But I've always had this nagging feeling he would be....

If this is true then that could see a big down turn in ST renewals, think the club would put out news of a new recruit or a Williams return just before the deadline then drop the news the top dusters are back when the money's already in the bank. I pray it's just someone fishing on here and they're both can in North America come next season

Even we wouldn't be stupid enough to waste a uni deal on either of them.

If Carter or MacMillan are re-signed im not going to home games next season. Neither should be here now, let alone given another year.
