Panthers tweeted that the visa applications were all on track and they expected a full line up for the 12th August. I suspect they have signed the last two players and are holding out, drip feeding us to keep us interactive and interested in this team.

That sounds more like a we have a game on the 12th, we need to sell tickets. Tweet out something about having a full squad. Then once tickets are sold we can do damage limitation afterwards.

I'm glad I ain't going to the game on the 12th I 'll go the week later to see the Germans may have half a chance of seeing full side then

Looking through the team we seem to have pretty good size, if the last signing is someone with a decent physical side then we'll definitely be able to hold our own in every rink in the league.

So the forwards are now finished. We certainly look like we have improved our firepower. In my opinion we do look a bit short at centre. Obviously Corey might and probably will have totally different ideas of how we could set up. He certainly looks like he will have a few options.
1st Line- DERLAGO PHILLIPS MOSEY
2nd Line- SHALLA BUSSIÈRES FARMER
3rd Line- LINDHAGEN BROWN CLARKE
4th Line- MOKSHANTSEV LACHOWICZ BETTERIDGE
1st Line- DERLAGO PHILLIPS MOSEY
2nd Line- SHALLA BUSSIÈRES MOKSHANTSEV
3rd Line- FARMER BROWN CLARKE
4th Line- LACHOWICZ LINDHAGEN BETTERIDGE
1st Line- DERLAGO PHILLIPS MOSEY
2nd Line- SHALLA BUSSIÈRES CLARKE
3rd Line- FARMER BROWN MOKSHANTSEV
4th Line- LACHOWICZ LINDHAGEN BETTERIDGE

Something I've just noticed is that Panthers currently only have one player, and he's a goalie, with any NHL experience. When was the last time Panthers signed a team like that?

Agree with you..... providing you switch 'end of year' to '2nd period of 1st game'.
CN changes lines, all the time. We all know this. Nothing will be different, it's 'what he does'.

He probably won't be and injuries / suspensions will inevitably come but i'm hoping he goes for more settled lines this season. He does seem to have been talking more than normal about "he's on this line" and "he's on that line" and he did manage to keep the lines settled in 2012/ 2013.

Leopards tend not to change their spots..... & didn't the 12/13 settled lines come from player pressure?
I'm naturally cynical on CN & his lines, evidence makes me so.

Any explanation to why CN as gone short on center/face guys Because he has has misguided thinking that he can turn a player into something he's not. Best ask Neilson ! Or Black at the next Q+A session.

Or Black at the next Q+A session. In theory we have 4 centres so Corey's not trying to turn anyone into anything on this occasion: Phillips - centre. Brown - based on last season has no issue playing centre and I don't think anyone objects to him doing so. Bussieres - has told Corey he sees himself as a centre so figures he might play there, he should know his own game better than anyone else. Lindhagen - centre. Then if one of them gets moved to the wing for whatever reason (injury/suspension) Lacho isn't the worst fill in as a 5th option at centre when needed (so long as he isn't sent out to take draws in the defensive zone).

If you're counting Lacho we actually have at least 6 players who can play centre because Mokshantsev has also played centre Mainly in the VHL. It's okay having player's who can play and want to play centre but a big part of that is the ability to win face offs. From what I recall neither Bussieres nor Mokshantsev had a 'good' face off winning percentage at their clubs last season. I may be wrong but I don't remember Lacho winning that many either.

Winning faceoffs is a massive part off the game, think that was 1 of the problems last season and the team had so call centers, a good faceoff guy is worth his weight in gold as they say.

To be fair to Bussieres based on the stats (if I'm reading them right) he only took 37 face-offs (of which he won 10) last year so it's unfair to judge his ability on those numbers. We'll get a fairer reflection on his ability should he be given a longer/consistent run of taking them. Don't get me wrong I don't overly want Lacho taking any face-offs (he most certainly won very few last season), but if it comes to it I can live with it as long as he doesn't take them in the defensive zone.

I'm hoping we have this final signing nailed down soon. I've got a very good feeling about this season!

Moran will probably announce it at the 97th film premiere on Wednesday night. You know what he's like if you give him centre stage and a microphone ! 😫
