Decent signing, on a not very good team he was better than most.

Ok signing plumped up that I more due to his versatility. I'm neither disappointed or over the moon.

OK signing. Versatile, relatively quick.
Would keep him as a forward only 3rd / 4th line.

Good solid player - does the right thing at the right time, versatile which is valuable. Perhaps we should be looking at more continental players.

Could be found out to be completely barking up the wrong tree, however bringing Erik back makes me think Neilson is once again planning to p**s about with lines and probably skimp on defence (because he can always throw Lindhagen back there if needed).
If Corey hasn't got it set in stone where Lindhagen will be playing (forward or defence) I can't see how it'll be effective again - yes Erik made a good impression last year individually, but the team was c**p.

Bottom 6 forward. Bottom 4 forward.
Never got to see the so called speed he allegedly has.
Decent re-signing. Hope he has better players around him this season.

He wont make or break our season. You always need depth players. And he can last the full season which is not to be taken lightly. Liked what Neilson said about us going for a fast skillful team. Hope we actually create plays next season rather than just rolling 4 lines of dump and no chase.
Im already getting nervous though. Im struggling to see how our lines are going to go up front. Apart from Brown and Farmer everyone we've got is a bottom 6 forward. And i still like Farmer to be paired with our enforcer.
And the others we have dont seem to compliment each other that well yet.
Maybe something like:
Import-import-brown
Import-import-import
Import enforcer-lindhargen-Farmer
Betteridge-Lacho-Clarke

I like Brown don't get me wrong, but I hope Panthers are going to sign 4 or 5 better imports than him

Erik is a good, depth player, simple as that nothing flashy, can utilise speed to transition but fails to build a play upon it. Also plays on the PK which is an advantage.
Couldn't resist discussing forward lines and like others I'm slightly concerned but currently we look something like
Import Import Import
Farmer Import Import
Clarke Brown Import
Lacho Lindhagen Betteridge
Kelsall
4th line is a role line, young, speedy, potential to cause issues. 3rd line we need a playmaker, this line would chip in along the way and contribute to special teams. 2nd line we need a workhorse, who can play and a sniper, I think Farmer is good enough to play with better players and be relied upon more. 1st line we need three top end, franchise players, a sniper, a 2-way forward and a playmaker

I like Brown don't get me wrong, but I hope Panthers are going to sign 4 or 5 better imports than him I agree skill wise. We need some raw quality this year. Particually on the play making front. However Brown is good enough to play with the better players in this league and not slow them down. I like the physical side he brings. He can create space, and dig the puck out of the corners for 2 really skillful guys. On top of that he acts as protection for them. So i would be happy to see him on the top line or the second line. |

Brown is a very good 3rd liner for this league. Great checker and energy but lacks the scoring touch or awareness to consistently make plays. Yes he can keep up with the skilled guys but I'd hope we get a better compliment in order to score more than last year. |

He's contemplating retirement after the coming season but I'd hope he doesn't, assuming he has a solid season. |

As has been stated Lee, Spang and Billingsley are the 3 defence signed so far, at least Corey has clarified Erik is playing as a forward
